Indeed. Nothing gets in the way of 'freedom', not even the bodies of young children.
I posted it is response to the shooting in Ohio yesterday. I have a Rule here: If a US mass shooting is reported by the BBC I have to post something. I was going to say "I don't make the Rules...", but as I *do* make the Rules.... I'm kinda stuck [grin]
I was pregnant with Eleanor in December of 2012 when Sandy Hook happened. I was at work, and my students were at Specials when the news was breaking. I watched the footage and sobbed the entire day, feeling so guilty that this was the world I was bringing my baby into. And when nothing changed in the aftermath, I knew nothing ever would. We decided that these little bodies being destroyed beyond recognition was an acceptable price to pay for anyone to be able to own semi-automatic weapons and it is absolutely sickening. I hate it here.
I was SO angry when *nothing* happened afterwards - except for the same old lame arguments. Like you I thought 'If *THIS* doesn't change anything, then nothing will'... and nothing has changed. Meanwhile the whole world looks on saying W-T-F...

That must have been so terrible.

There are just too many people out there who get filthy rich with selling weapons.
