After the terrible tragedy in Las Vegas, President Trump ordered flags to be flown at half-staff.
With mourning and vigils just beginning, flags flown at half-staff are just one of many ways we pay homage to victims of gun violence.
Sadly, we need a very, very long flagpole to account for the all-too-frequent mass shootings in the United States. (The mass shootings depicted in this cartoon represent just a tiny fraction of the total that have occurred in recent years.)
