It's interesting you brought up Uvalde. My earliest memory of a mass shooting was Columbine in 1999

then there were a string of them, so many of them at this point that I've forgotten. I know there was Virginia Tech, and then Rep. Giffords getting shot in the head, and the Aurora Movie Theater and many more...but the one that really stood out to me was Sandy Hook in 2012, because of the young age of those poor kids who lost their lives that day because of some fucking ugly bloated-face moron with a bowl cut.

but then nothing happened. If anything, the pro-gun whackjobs got even more embedded and defensive in government. That's when I realized if people don't care about protecting kindergarteners, then they're never going to care
