According to the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), as of December 16, 2025, there have been approximately 392 mass shootings in the U.S. this year. Where were all the "good guys with guns" in the U.S. when we needed them, Phil?

Hey, Phil...it's a good thing the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Uvalde Police Department weren't responsible for taking out the shooter in Australia. The death toll would have been much higher.
