black holes and gray matter. in one thousand tangos.

The perversion that protecting human beings is seen as both antithetical to and secondary to protecting an abstract right to “keep and bear arms” is nationally toxic. The idea that, at this moment, with all these children dead, we should stay silent about the need to respond to the obvious causes of repeated instances of mass gun violence keeps us from ever truly dealing with what has become a graver and more pressing need to keep events like this from never happening, to at least eighteen elementary school children this morning (would more guns have saved them?), to the victims of the seven mass shootings in this country in 2012 alone. Like Evan just posted: “Gun control now? Or… now?” 

Now.
