I would find value in hearing why an intelligent person rolls their eyes instead of feeling righteous indignation.

It's really, really hard for me to understand why gun violence doesn't make you feel indignation, righteous or otherwise.

But right now, I am willing to listen.

I guess all the other preventable deaths - suicide, highway accidents, obesity. That we do little or nothing about - they've been unchanged or growing for decades.

Firearm deaths don't even break 5 digits.

I guess dudes shooting up public schools just hits different for some of us.
