Maybe it’ll give them some catharsis but nothing is going to change

After Sandy Hook in Newtown, it was crystal clear that this country has no interest in solving these school shootings. TWENTY 6 and 7 year olds, six teachers murdered. Nothing changed.

False. The next generation of politicians about to start their careers in the next couple elections all grew up in this era of increased school shootings. Each election cycle there is an increase in the number of first time voters who have been in a school during an active shooter event. The more these school shootings happen, the more adults there will be who have first or secondhand exposure to the terrors and traumas of shooting shootings. Majority of the new voters will vote democrat, all while more elderly republicans will pass away. Things are going to change over the next couple elections.

Those Kevlar backpacks are expensive... I'm hoping my kids have the mental fortitude to play dead after they take that bullet hopefully in the backpack.
