[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All progress on this is blocked by the GOP. There’s no “us” problem here, there’s a problem in that one party is beholden to the NRA/Russia and for whom violent citizen death is a benefit. [/quote]

The younger generation has had enough.  They grew up traumatized by school shootings and they don't want that for their kids.  They will be the voters to send the NRA away and good riddance [/quote]

I agree. That's the only hope. Young people today--for the most part--don't share the gun fetish of the older population. I feel as if we're going through a cultural shift on this issue and it may take decades to complete, but I do believe it's happening.

PS. I worried about school shootings all through ES, MS, and HS and hated that students had to go through active shooter drills from Kindergarten on.  I was right to worry because my only child was at UVA on lockdown for 12 hours just a few months ago when there was a mass shooting there. Most of the students and staff weren't hurt during the shooting, but the memories of fear and grief for the students that were killed will linger forever. No amount of RWNJ and NRA pro-gun propaganda is going to alter those memories. [/quote]

You are so right about the younger generation having had enough. We've all had enough! So sorry to hear about your child's experience with the lockdown at UVA. The emotional trauma of these tragedies touches so many of our kids. Mine, too. For now, we are left having to deal with fallout.
