Powerful and poignant post. I immediately went to Steve's account and read the two of his posts and the comments that alluded to gun ownership and massacres in the States.
As an Australian, where our gun ownership is heavily controlled and where gun amnesties happen frequently so that people can hand in guns, I'm aghast at the Republicans, the NRA and the 2nd Amendment.
My heart goes out to every American child. And what American family doesn't have their hearts in their throats every single day? Anxiety levels must be horrendous!
I have this awful gut feeling that in the end, it'll take a kind of civil revolution and the implications of that with the MAGA in existence are terrifying.
Such a great post - but oh gosh, such awful things to think about. News of US school shootings hits the bulletins here in UK, and every time it is such a shock. We have had one incidence of this - in Dunblane, Scotland, in 1996 - but nothing in a school after the post-Dunblane gun reform.
I absolutely loved this line of your post: 'The only things she dislikes about school are the weekends when she can't go.' How absolutely lovely! 😊
Well written. We have our gun issues here in Canada as well although not nearly as large but just as tragic. When I see that another incident has happened in the US I am so astounded that the country cannot seem to have some sort of gun laws that could alleviate some of the madness. It’s insane.
