[quote=Anonymous]Washington Post has been tracking gun violence at school (the federal government, in yet another mind-boggling failure in this area, doesn't even track this). Nearly 400,000 students have experienced gun violence at their school since Columbine. This includes kids who died, were injured, witnessed violence, or cowered in closets or bathrooms to hide from the shootings on the other side of the door.

Untold numbers of schools schools have also had false alarms -- not drills, but actual lockdowns that are triggered, leading the school and students to believe that it's their turn. (My own kid had one of these. She hid in the closet and texted me that she loved me).

And of course EVERY kid has done drills, countless drills, in each one imagining the moment someone enters their place of learning to hunt them like an animal.

Nobody wants it this way. No one. Not even the A-rated-by-the-NRA cowards in congress. Eventually, the politicians will crack. It will be harder to do nothing than it is to make change. Once a few shift, most will. We will look back on this time, and see it for what it was, and is: madness.[/quote]
