Modern life is complicated. Our parents, grandparents, and even our founding fathers couldn’t have prepared us for what we face today. And sometimes it’s difficult to find the right words to express our feelings.

For instance, we live in The Greatest Country in the World. And one small by-product of all the good, pure freedom we enjoy is more gun deaths — 25 times more — than any other high-income country. When it comes to shooting each other to death, we’ve gotten really good, really fast. Unfortunately, the greeting card industry just hasn’t kept pace with this progress. But help is on the way!

Whether it’s a scorned lover, a mass shooting, or just old-fashioned street violence — HipShot Cards has the perfect sentiment to console anyone mourning a death due to gun violence.

Give our line of Gun Violence Sympathy Cards a shot the next time you need to say, “I’m sorry for your gun violence-related loss.”
