7. Aside from the horrific death and injury aspects of these events....

the USA's emotion-free right-wing sector neglects to mention massive damage to quality education and community building that's done by having weapons and guards present in our schools. That damage is due to fear and suspicion created in children's vulnerable minds, both toward armed personnel and toward each other.

My daughter the fifth-grade teacher says the environment in our schools must be free of fears and be quiet, peaceful and nurturing spaces in order for kids to learn and become caring, functional members of society. You can't do those things in an armed prison.

We need not only much stricter gun laws and regulation, but we also need to rebuild our school facilities so that no weapons of any kind can ever enter learning spaces.

RIP to the innocent little ones in Texas......
