Highland Park

“This scene has repeated itself over and over again because of the unfettered access to weapons of war,” said Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi, a Democrat from suburban Chicago. “What was supposed to be a celebration of our freedom and unity today turned into yet another bloody massacre” (The New York Times ).

    I have been trying not to think too much, too often about that child. It hits too close.

    I’m going to write to my representative and ask why the right to own and carry guns “shall not be abridged” but the right to attend a public gathering without fear of being shot with a weapon of war can be abridged every damn day.
