Prayers alone do not change gun violence outcomes. We can and do pray until the next mass murder occurs. Yes, of course I’m praying for the victims, families school and community, but change is long overdo. Voicing the need for change is perfectly fine!

What god wants, god gets.
God help us all.
As a fellow Missouri teacher, I would like to apologize and assure everyone on this forum that we aren’t all heartless political drones. Missouri HS1, you should really be ashamed of yourself as your comments on this forum are embarrassing. They show a lack of empathy, intelligence, and individual thought.
For everyone turning this into politics….This doesn’t need to be made into an argument, a talking point, or accusations, at least not yet. It should be a time to grieve, support, and come together. This is fresh and tragic, and there is no reason to turn this into an inflammatory conversation on an anonymous app. This isn’t the place change will come anyways. Take your politics and forget them just for a moment and realize there are more important things than right and left agendas when such a horrific event occurs.
My thoughts are with those suffering from todays tragic events.

Mo - say and do whatever you want but I agree with the person who said “read the room”.

Just remember- it has nothing to do with guns! 😡
Chief
Unfortunately we have more guns than people in America. We can access illegal guns easily and readily. We are too fucking comfortable with guns!

So saddened by this, my heart is with the people of Texas ❤️

It has sadly become normalized in this country. Nothing will change given the gun culture and political lobbying and clout of the NRA. Heartbreaking.
Chief
We don’t value human life and we believe we have the right to be violent and kill people. Guns are so easy to access, it make it so easy. Oh, and the NRA owns a bunch of the congressional leadership and other politicians and select entertainers. So…money is involved.

Elementary school 😢
That is heartbreaking! I keep telling my elementary school it can unfortunately happen at our level~we need to be prepared.

Remember when the nation was rocked by columbine? They killed 12 kids. This is 14 elementary students and we don’t find out about it until hours after it’s happened. Sad how desensitized ppl have become.

Amazing! Oh God
My husband grew up in Uvalde. It is about 15-20k people and everyone literally knows everyone. The whole community is affected. Those poor children and parents, and the children and staff that witnessed the trauma will agonize for years. It's not about gun control. It is about noticing the signs of mental illness and helping not just that person but their family as well. We have a granddaughter that is in residential treatment right now and we are the most socially isolated we have ever been. Those suffering mental illness need a support system that is sadly lacking as they unintentionally isolate and push away those that cared for them, and now just want peace. Our suicide rates are at an all time high. Over 50,000 kids are placed in residential treatment each year, and keep in mind if they do not have insurance/means, they are probably in juvenile detention becoming even more caught up in their dark musings. Please think about what you can do to help instead of bashing the politicians, NRA, school security measures, foreign aid, etc. I bet grandma was tired and most of the other family and friends had distanced from Salvatore by this time. He was only 18! A child himself. I feel so bad today. Luckily my nieces and nephews are okay, but that can't be said for everyone. Please pray for this community and our country and our mentally ill and our school staff.
