If we're not going to do anything to stop these sorts of tragedies, we may as well honor and materially support those most harmed by them.
Wounded survivors and family members of those killed in mass shootings in America should receive the same benefits as wounded soldiers and the families of American military service-members killed in the line of duty. In a very real sense, these unfortunate folks are sacrificing life and limb for our freedoms -- specifically our freedoms to very easily obtain very deadly firearms.
Who’s going to publicly argue and vote against this? These families have sacrificed as much as those of military veterans (and I say that as a veteran myself). They should be entitled to the same sorts of benefits and honors. Especially since, as a country, we’re not doing a damn thing to stop them.
