My wife received confirmation from her friend that her little boy is out of the hospital after having been shot last week. His wounds weren’t critical, but he’s going to carry those marks for the rest of his life.
One of his classmates, she’s still in the hospital. Doctors are trying to determine if she needs to have the second half of her skull removed in order to combat the swelling of her brain. From here on out, she will not have a normal life, no matter what metric you employ.
Stealing this line from someone who I can’t recall: Fine, guns aren’t the problem, people are. So why do we keep giving the problem more guns?
