Despite the daily gun violence plaguing American cities like Philadelphia, Chicago or New Orleans, it's the mass shootings that trigger outrage. "The tragedy of the parents isn't greater in Newtown than that of a parent of someone who was shot elsewhere," said Scott Charles who runs Temple Hospital’s gun violence awareness program. "At the end of the day, their kids aren't coming home, and there's no way to compare that anguish.”
