For those of us who've been holding vigil all these years--writing letters to the editor and sending checks to the Brady Campaign--this week's broken silence is hard to believe. Judging from the groundswell of support around the country, our numbers are larger than we thought. It's as if a dam finally broke, and the rush of anger, frustration, and sadness is taking over the country.
What will the NRA have to say on Friday? If it's not an effort towards banning assault weapons and controlling ammunition purchases, I say good riddance. The NRA has done more harm to this country than just about any other "law-abiding" group.
The president has finally spoken. Some legislators seem to get it. Our mayors have gotten it all along. The time has come to shut down our dangerous, armed society. For the first time in years, I'm hopeful.
But oh how sad that we had to lose such little children to get to this place.
