Now I need some tissues and a cute pet video. BTW, I live in a repug district so calling my rep or Cruz or Cornyn is a waste of time.

I started to post it to Facebook then had second thoughts about unsupervised kids seeing it without parental guidance, comfort, and explanations of the significance of the ad.

Having said that this PSA needs to be widely seen.

I'm emailing the link to my congressional members of Congress.

With this attached note: DAMN IT DO SOMETHING!

and every day, more of them turn 18 and can vote. NRA is losing influence and has been in the news for corruption scandals. Change is inevitable.

when I was a student, we didn't have many shootings.... Damn it. Wish we didn't need active shooter drills.
