(27,985 posts)You are high profile so if you recommend someone else's writing or write something yourself about this atrocity and the idiocy of our gun laws, it gets read. But the ferocity with which you have taken after this makes me think you look at your wife's swollen belly and it's giving you a belly of fire. Wait til you see her, the ferocity with which you will protect and love her might surprise you. It's intellectual until you are holding your child and then it's just not.
I'm not saying people who don't have children don't get it. Of course they do. There's just this extra switch that comes on when one's own child is born. You know without a doubt that you would step in front of a bullet for them. And those parents who lost their children would have too, had they been there. Heck, their guardians, the teachers, did the very same thing.
This has been both awe inspiring and revolting beyond comprehension.
