Newtown families are lobbying Congress to pass effective gun-control legislation (Democracy Now!, 10 April 2013). Senator Inhofe had the nerve to say, “I think it’s so unfair of the administration to hurt these families, to make them think this has something to do with them, when, in fact, it doesn’t.” And I suppose it has nothing to do with the 6-year-old who was shot and killed by a 4-year-old yesterday. Or the “random” attacks and targeted assassinations we read about or that touch our lives more closely. It has nothing to do with my cat getting shot while accompanying my wife and 2-year-old son to the park, nothing to do with the dancing friend we lost last year to gang violence.
There may not be an easy solution to violence, but seeking a solution has everything to do with its victims.
