Just another day, in NRA’s America …
1 dead, 8 injured after shooting at Arizona shopping center
thehill.com — June 4, 2022
A shooting at a strip mall in Phoenix, Ariz., left one dead and eight others injured early Saturday morning.
[...]
“Change must happen now,” wrote Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego (D) in response to the shooting. “Seems we can’t go a day without another mass shooting.”
[...]
Mayor Gallego of Phoenix, is more correct than most people realize.

Most of these horrific terrifying events, DON’T make the National News.
I don’t know if that is a good thing, or not?
Afterall it is emotionally exhausting — constantly contemplating this GOP-endorsed/enabled carnage.
...
As the Mayor puts it: “Change must happen now.”

PSA’s like this — are like putting a band-aid on a national epidemic …
RUN. HIDE. FIGHT. A Government-sponsored PSA

I’d really rather see more frequent coverage of the emotional and psychological toll, that the EZ access to the weapons war, are exacting on the victims, of this epidemic of impulsive rage-filled killers.
The emotional and psychological toll … of wondering if this desperate frightened text -- will in fact be their last …
Some parting thoughts, although I seriously doubt I’d be so self-composed:
I love you both more than u will ever know.
There is an shooter in the building.
I am hiding.
I love you.
Be good an take care of daddy and the pets if something should happen.
Luckily, this Mom survived the terror. Many others, far too many, are not so lucky.

It doesn’t shouldn’t have to be this way.
When will enough common-sense loving Americans wake up — and Vote the NRA-enabling bums, out of office?
Probably not soon enough.
