The United States and Australia suffered horrific mass shootings over the weekend. First, a gunman at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, opened fire in a classroom building during final exams, killing two students and wounding nine others, several critically. And on Sunday morning at Bondi Beach in Sydney, a pair of Islamic terrorists sprayed bullets into a public Hanukkah celebration, killing at least 15.

Unsurprisingly, prominent Democrats have labeled the attacks as instances of “gun violence,” emphasizing the role of guns and downplaying the motives and identities of the shooters.
