Ban assault weapons. Require safe storage of firearms. Require background checks for all gun sales. Eliminate gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability. We can and must do these things now.

My 5 year old has been in a mask all day at school. Playing in the puddles just off the bus Went to eat a snack from her bag. “Oh! My mask. I forgot it was on.” The problem isn’t the kids. It’s the adults who are holding on to biases against masks while everyone gets sick.
