According to the right-wing gun lobby and it's apologists and enablers, this is just the price we must pay for Freedom and Liberty. According to the majority of Americans these numbers are insane, and those who cause them, along with the death merchants who arm those who are responsible for these numbers, are domestic terrorists.
As flaming lib says: "Guns don't kill -- people with guns kill."
