12. I think the survivors and loved ones

should be the ones who craft our gun laws, rather than people who have no idea what it's like to lose a loved one this way.

Instead stalling after every massacre because 'now is not the time' to look at gun rights, I think we should make those laws right while we are fully conscious of the emotional, physical, societal, and economic damage gun violence causes. Enough brushing people aside. We want to live in a safer society not a cowboy movie.

Think we should wait until people forget about Bangladesh before contemplating workplace safety standards there? That would make no sense.
