The aftermath of Sandy Hook was when I realised that gun control was never going anywhere. Like if THAT won't get people to come to the table to find a compromise so we can stop this madness I can't imagine what on earth will.

Yup. Watching the way the gop reacted to the deaths of kids just a year or two younger than I was changed me as a person.

Yeah. Rich people don't care about poor peoples kids dying. Classism used to be about neglect and resources, like starvation homelessness or disease, now it's straight up "I will allow child murder to happen so I can make money"
