All I can think of is the agony of the families in Uvalde and the murderous complicity of every politician and voter who rejects rational gun control. (By which I mean at least the kind of vetting one goes through for a driver's license. And, for god's sake, a waiting period.)
And then there's the hypocrisy of those who mouth "thoughts and prayers" and say "it's too soon after the tragedy to talk about a solution." It's always too soon because there's always another tragedy.
May all those who see school shootings as the price we pay for so-called gun rights rot in the hell of their own twisted souls.

Precious Josie is very much a part of my thoughts when I read and hear about the carnage of innocent lives in our schools. Not a single child in this country is safe in what should be the safest place of all. My heart breaks and I am in a state of constant helpless rage as this happens again and again and again. May the angels guard Josie and her friends.
I ate lunch with friends yesterday. These were caring women who are up with current events. Not once did we discuss what had happened Tues. We all were in denial? I think I was so angry and full of rage toward politicians I couldn't speak about it. It's my way of coping with this unmitigated anger the politicians and NRA and automatic weapon owners have put us all in.
Amen to your last statement!
My daughter sent us an article about the money beyond gun rights compared to gun control. Mind boggling!
My niece who is a teacher in NY city said she cried all the way on the subway to school yesterday. My brother in law who also teaches says the middle schoolers he teaches say they expect to be shot at school
What is wrong with our country?
hear hear
So, so sad - and unbelievable to those of us here in UK. Even with gun control, shootings happen - but not nearly so many and rarely in schools. I can't imagine what every parent and grandparent is going through right now, not to mention the effect on all your children, who should feel safe at school. Sending hugs, though I know that's pretty useless.
Thank you Vicki. It is so terrible, tragic, and here we are with seemingly no way to get rid of these people who do not seem to have a heart or soul. Their platitudes are what they are... meaningless. I do not understand our country ... nor do I recognize it. Have we let this stuff slip in? I am beyond sad.
It's just horrifying what some politicians will ignore for the sake of money. Doesn't it occur to them that one of their loved ones could be caught in the next rampage? Or maybe they don't love anyone. Or maybe they don't love anyone as much as their money.
