Imagine your kid saying something like this.

No I cannot imagine that thankfully. It says so much.

That makes me so sad.

Sad. We have too many unhinged people running around with access to guns.

Clearly she needs a gun.
Seriously, I do not understand the gun culture at all.

Heartbreaking.
I was just in Lowe’s the other day and realized that my mind had just unconsciously started looking underneath the high shelves where boxes are stored as a good place to hide if someone opened fire. Prompted by nothing. Lately high on my list of anxieties is the numerous ways this country is fucked up. Gun culture (machismo culture/patriarchal mindset society) is high on the list. I think about moving out of the US sometimes.

How very sad that someone has been desensitised at such a young age that she doesn’t even bat an eyelid at what is going on around her. So very sad.

Considering I was livid over the fact that my kids had to go to active shooter drills at school, I find this both heartbreaking and maddening.
ETA: weekend before last my eldest DD was outside a club when a patron got into an argument with a street vendor. At one point shots were fired right next to her. I haven’t gotten over that yet.

What have we become? This alone should stop it all!!!!!!! When will it stop! At least if we stop selling large-capacity magazines to the semi-automatic weapons, it's a start. Start running actual background checks. Stop these stupid gun shows (makes me sick!!!!!!!!! A neighbor of ours brought his 3 young kids to one, in FL. His oldest DD was 12 & he allowed her to buy ninja stars. WHY? Just WHY???)

I don’t think it will stop in my lifetime, and I hope to have another 40 years.
The Gun Assholes article in a separate thread is a well-written first-hand perspective on the recent shooting outside of the Nationals baseball game. We’ve become a nation held hostage by Gun Assholes. It fucking sucks.
