I don’t know what I can add to the title of this post. A family had gathered to remember a victim of gun violence when gunfire broke out killing a six year old girl. I’m sure someone will argue that the child should have had been carrying a weapon, but it seems to me we need to rethink the whole notion that violence makes us safer. Biology teaches us that a species can go extinct just as surely from its of its own absurd weaponry as from a predator.
