The horrific shooting at an In-N-Out in Idaho comes during the same week we mark seven years since the El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, mass shootings — both carried out with assault weapons.

Seven years ago today, just hours after the El Paso mass shooting, a gunman opened fire with an Anderson Manufacturing AR-15 pistol in the Oregon Historic District of downtown Dayton, Ohio. Nine people were killed, and 17 others were wounded.
