Children and PTSD, just wondering

[LakeVermilion]

I am not a gun owner, nor do I shoot at a gun range.

When I viewed the video of the Parkland shooting, I was stunned by how loud the gun sounded in the hallway. In my mind, I wonder if there might be a lot more casualties than the dead and the wounded. Think about all those shootings in schools. How many kids had to hear the loud gunshots and have nightmares or years later encounter PTSD.

Even the police wear ear protectors at the gun range.

Shame on America. What are we doing to our children so gun loving snowflakes can be fully satisfied.

1. Many of them will,

but it has less to do with the volume of the gunshots, than the trauma. (I've lived with mild to moderate PTSD for decades because of trauma that didn't involve gunshots at all.)

2. It's not the volume; it's the trauma.
