Shooting

 Another. Then another. Then one more. Then one more after that. The next one? What? School shootings, a category in which America is clearly #1. Of course, the anxiety, the fear for the staff and children, the news coverage, the shooter, the victims, the police chief. Absent: the lawmakers, action on gun control, information on how the gun wound up in the hands of a teen, consequences for responsible adults.

I’ve worked on gun control issues, supported gun control organizations and written legislators—whose responses are usually flabby and lame. But still, this is the least we all can do.
