Thank you, Beth. Thank you, John. We are in dire need of more responsible discussion around guns and gun ownership. I have to say, though, when 20 first graders and 7 teachers were slaughtered in their classrooms 10 days before Christmas in 2012 at Sandy Hook elementary school and the Congress could not pass something as innocuous as background checks I lost hope that anything would ever be done. Uvalde proved that a good guy with a gun was no protection against a bad guy with a gun. More’s the pity.
It is still my greatest fear when our grandchildren are practicing active shooter drills in their 1st grade and pre-school classrooms. God help us.
Thank you so much for this. Yes, rights (should) come with responsibilities. It truly boggles my mind and saddens my heart at the lack of responsibility shown by people who deep in their souls should know better. Sadly, you will probably be reposting this for years to come. We all need to keep calling out lawmakers on this thing that is beyond important.
Catching up on my reading, so I'm a little late to comment here. But didn't want to pass up the chance to say, 'Kudos to John (and you) for sharing this!' It deserves to be spread far and wide! Thanks to you both!

It is time for all of us to grow up.
