Thank you, for this, @davidpakman. Living in Florida, I’m watching the coverage of latest highschool shooting with a mounting sense of frustration/ impotence.
Incredible that it seems sane to talk about arming teachers and having more drills at school, instead of banning assault weapons, finally!
When did we decide that our right to bear arms was more important than protecting the lives of our children? Something must be rotten in the Divided States of America that children are mimicking adults this way and taking the war to schools.
I know this would not be tolerated if it were immigrants or Muslims behind this. How much longer, as a public, will we continue to defend the indefensible, how many more innocent deaths?!
Heartening at least to see the courageous student movement, daring to speak truth to corrupt power. Enough with the NRA already and the national insecurity about protecting ourselves!
Here’s a post of mine where I explore the spiritual dimension of America’s gun problem:
