I’m going to take a break today from writing about people with disabilities and differences and talk about guns. Following the Uvalde school mass shooting, parents now are worried about sending their children to school. When the school bus arrives, parents are now hugging their children as if for the last time because of the dread of what could happen after the parents put their children on that bus to take them to school. I have said this before and I will say it again: we elect our officials to give them the power to protect us and make our lives better, not just so they become narcissists and corrupt people who are held hostage by the gun lobby, and many of the elected people in our government have failed to do that by not passing stricter gun laws.
