As we are once again appalled and angry in seeing young people gunned down with a war weapon, the Trump administration and other government leaders suggest arming teachers or buying bullet blankets for schools to make available to students, if a school attack occurs.
While Americans are known for problem solving and innovation, the idea of accepting school attacks as normal, and something to prepare for is wrong thinking, if not insane. We, the people of the United States, still have the power to elect representatives who will put the needs of their constituents before the size of their political war chests.
We must use the power of our voting to turn out the NRA's influence over gun policy in the U.S., by voting against their political puppets in Congress and the Senate.
