…today I’m reading about the parents of the survivors of the Uvalde massacre, while my children play outside.

The article is hard, but the images are only of survivors.
In 1985, my father had a handgun his older sister sold to him, when she encouraged him to shoot his much younger wife for cheating on him.
The 18 year old who massacred children in Texas a year ago today had three guns, one of them an AR-15.
No 18 year old deserves an AR-15 who isn’t at the front lines in a battle, trained and dedicated to defending their country and our allies.
We want to change gun laws so the NRA loses money and power, and our children and teachers and mothers and neighbors get to survive going to school, church, grocery stores, concerts, clubs, anywhere people gather.
All children deserve to grow up not traumatized, and without memories of being 9 years old, rolling in their dead best friend’s blood to fake death to survive, while 376 well-armed police officers wait 77 minutes to work up the courage to take out one 18 year old with an AR-15.
