I'm so sorry you had such a close proximity shooting, how awful. I don't know how sane people in America live life without the fear of mass shooting being a constant. I visit from abroad where I live and I feel nervous in a red state with gun propaganda everywhere despite two horrible mass shootings (that I know of, I am sure there have been more) there in the past few years. It's not the America I grew up in or remember. I don't understand why a minority are calling the shots here, I really don't. I know it's all money and politics and the NRA but it's just so unthinkable once you spend any amount of time away from the U.S. how far we have gone down this horrific path. It seems like complete wreckless madness to most every other country in the world, it's tragic and so preventable. I respect your ability to give space to rational open minded questions here but I think people have lost their minds over guns and there is no middle ground with Republicans anymore.
