The danger of a politician blaming mass shootings on ‘emasculated’ men
The other danger in the lieutenant governor’s words is that they distract from the work that needs to be done to prevent future shootings.I grew up in Texas, surrounded by legal and illegal gun owners. I lost a classmate in eighth grade to a mass shooting and know how that trauma stretches wide and lasts long. I also have friends and family members who have responsibly owned guns. I don’t view gun-control measures as a them-vs.-us issue.
I now live in Virginia and have two sons who attend elementary school. My older son is in the same grade as those children who died in Uvalde and I’d be lying if I said I haven’t mentally placed myself in those parent’s position. That shooting has forced me to worry about my own children and others in a way that has sat dormant in me and makes me want to do whatever I can to protect them before it’s too late.
