We no longer have time to properly mourn before another shooting takes place. It was and is devastating.
But we owe it to the victims and their families, as well as our country, not to be desensitized and defeated.
As President Joe Biden said during his State of the Union address, the families torn apart by gun violence have a clear message for us all.
Over and over again, from Newtown to Parkland to Uvalde, they pled with elected officials to act.

These people are killed by police just as surely as the people they gun down. This is in addition to the millions whose lives are shortened and immiserated by being forced to sell their labor to survive. These people are also killed by police.
