These are our kids. Presumably the most precious of gifts. They’re NOT supposed to have to deal with this shit. Their childhood innocence has been ripped from them (and those are the lucky ones - who are still alive) just so we can make sure guns of all kinds are sinfully easy to get.

There’s something VERY wrong with that.
