In the aftermath of the tragedy that happened at Evergreen High School on September 11,2025, are you ready to talk about common sense gun control yet? Shouldn’t we at least try to do something about the gun epidemic? What is it going to take? One death is too many. The #1 cause of death in CHILDREN in our country is GUN VIOLENCE. Let’s stop ignoring there is an urgent need for comprehensive gun reform legislation nationwide. Let’s stop glorifying guns. This incident should tell you , along with countless others , that there are devastating consequences when there is easy access to firearms. Desmond Holly , the young suspect in this shooting who killed himself after shooting others, was reportedly radicalized through extremist online forums promoting neo-nazi ideology and mass shooter glorification. Neo-nazi symbols were found on his social media accounts as well as references to far right killers(yes, Donald Trump, they do exist) It’s not just “left lunatics” killing people you bully. I urge you to take immediate action to pass comprehensive gun reform laws. These should include stricter background checks that consider online activity and mental health history, mandatory waiting periods for firearm purchases, age restrictions on gun ownership (especially for high-capacity weapons), funding for mental health resources and early intervention programs in schools, and legislation to hold social media platforms accountable for moderating extremist content. There were 332 shootings at kindergarten-12th grade schools in 2024 alone. What are we doing?? These are children. What are we doing to at least TRY to make things better for our future generations. We have to stop making it so easy for these kids to get guns in their hands, we have to stop the glorification of guns in this country.
