"Watching others lose a child and knowing what they feel brings it all back. I don't have a problem with responsible gun ownership, but there is nothing responsible about owning an AR-15."

"If we want teachers to have to ability to make offensive measures, why not non-lethal weapons? It's terrible that we would have to, but if we do, that route should not be firearms." -@TomPrigg2018

I was in a building locked down during a shooting and my mother and I were stalked by a man with a gun. I've also read the research. Guns do not make us safe. They only create the illusion of safety while profiting the NRA and gun manufacturers.

#NationalSchoolWalkout
As an educator, I support our children walking out today. They deserve to be in school, learning in a safe environment. But when so many adults put profits before life, it's time to stop and listen to our children.

#NationalSchoolWalkout #NeverAgain #WednesdayWisdom
If guns made us safer, as folks in the @NRA like to say, America, which owns nearly half of the world's privately owned guns, would have the fewest mass shootings in the world. Instead, we have the most.
