They are, at the moment. Which is pretty sad. People are focusing on the AR, while most crimes/killings are done with handguns. By far…
I guess it’s a matter of priorities. Several people dying every day in just one US city, doesn’t garner the same attention. Even if it’s children being killed in Chicago too.
I hate to inject race into any argument, but with mostly black and brown people dying on the streets, you have to wonder why they don’t have as many people calling for action…
Schools are important? Of course. But if they are so important, why is education neglected so much, in the US?
We want our kids safe in school. Of course we do. What about the kids shot in their own neighborhoods, or homes?
The focus on school shootings, seems merely political. Otherwise, our government would be trying to protect ALL citizens. Trump seems to be trying to act. Seems to be trying to protect our children. Where has he been? Parts of Chicago are a war zone. Have been since crack got big, in the 1980’s.
The tireless efforts to improve gun control, that are being put forth now, are commendable. But is it the straw that broke the camel’s back, or just politicians riding the hot button topic to reelection?
