On another note, my daughter takes her personal time off every year on the anniversary of the shooting she survived. Her supervisors understand but they could easily turn her down. It has been 6 years. There are others with wounds that are costing them quality of life and money. Along with vets, because it is not either/or, I would like good medical care for the survivors. So awareness of the survivors and support.
That's right, ZG. I'd forgotten the shootings in Colorado and your up and close personal experience with the concept of a deranged individual just shooting out of nowhere.

I don't know the answers here. especially with the damnable 2nd Amendment so interwoven into US society and such a part of this nation's identity.

But those who have survived these situations......we need to.listen to THEM more. Their takes to me are the most valid. Rob
