We shouldn’t have to live this way.

On Monday I was driving to pick up my five-year-old from school. When I drove down the street his school is on, two police cars, with sirens blazing, went flying past me. Then, I heard more sirens behind me.

My heart began racing and my throat tightened. My eyes filled with tears. My first thought was that there was a mass shooting at my son’s school.

Thank God, the police cars flew past my son’s school.

Why do we have to live like this?! Why would mowing down five-year-olds be my first thought?!

And before you tell me I need therapy or medication, you have to know that I am the calmest, most no hovering woman you ever met. I never worry. But a massshooting was still my first thought.

Agreed. As a nation our leaders clearly do not agree.

Why do we need to wait for outr "leaders" to do something? Why don't we as a society take some responsibility?

Ok. How do you suggest we do this?

Such a ridiculous response. You must be a trump supporter.

A mass shooting would be my first thought too. For my parents, that thought never would have entered their minds.

Yes. We need to change.

Hold it as a make-or-break issue. Support strict gun regulations or you do not get my vote. Period.

Sure, I must be. Or, maybe, I’d think car wreck, heart attack, lost kid, etc. you know, the stuff that normal people think of.

I never saw a zebra but my neighbor was killed in a mass shooting.

You simply don’t get it. No one wants to feel or think this way. But children are being blasted into pieces by high powered rifles in mass shootings in this country. You’d have to be a true ostrich who didn’t love her children NOT to think of it.

I don’t think most people are living this way . That probably wouldn’t have been my first thought. I am pro gun control, though, I just recognize how rare these shootings really are.

My relatives were killed by planes on 9/11. I don’t panic anytime I hear a plane c

You are not normal, OP, nor do you know how normal people think. Our children have mass shooter drills in their schools. CPR classes now include how to stop bleeding from gun shot wounds.
