Before murdering, the bullets do not inquire about their victims' political affiliations.

Before murdering, the bullets do not inquire about their victims' political affiliations. Before a student, teacher, partygoer, concertgoer, or gamegoer becomes a victim, the bullets do not pause to consider their political affiliation. They strike with the same force, causing the same devastation and igniting the same anguish in the hearts of the victim's loved ones. Yet, our leaders and arms dealers offer empty words and prayers. The time for action is now before you or someone you hold dear becomes the next statistic. Please don't wait until it's too late. The majority of mass shootings in America are blamed on mental health issues. However, the only answer they provide is prayers and thoughts, as if American mental health patients have an advantage over the rest of the world's sufferers, as if they have the authority to perpetrate mass atrocities and murders. And we, the American people, have an ideal solution: prayers and thoughts. These incidents are covered in the press for a day or two, but the truth is stark: the next tragedy will occur, not if, but when. This unavoidable reality, entirely preventable with the right policies and actions, should be a wake-up call for all of us.
