At first I thought that number was far too small, but then realized that was just schools, and not all mass shootings. Each time it proves the point once again, but for me it was Sandy Hook where I realized that if we don’t change after that event, we’re not going to change easily.
I added easily…initially I didn’t, but I think any society can change its ways with enough effort. Kids dying doesn’t seem to have the push needed, which says a lot about us.
Our country has decided that dead children is the price we’re willing to pay for buying more weapons.
