What is the point of having a sprawling national security state if they can’t find out who did a mass shooting in broad daylight five days ago?

What is the point of having a sprawling national security state if they can’t find out who did a mass shooting in broad daylight five days ago?

Mass shootings in the US, per Gun Violence Archive:
2015: 332
2016: 383
2017: 347
2018: 335
2019: 414
2020: 611
2021: 689
2022: 644
2023: 659
2024: 503
So far in 2025...392 mass shootings in 349 days.
We do not have to keep living like this.

NEW: Buried in the new defense bill is a policy to fill weapon “gaps” Israel gets as other nations embargo it.
As in: citing "wartime" needs, the US armed Israel’s genocide.
Nations responded by restricting weapons to Israel.
Now, citing those very restrictions, the US may send Israel *even more.*
