It is only January, and this is already the 33rd mass shooting in 2023 in America.
in America. Thirty-three tragedies. Hundreds of grieving and traumatized families. Communities trapped in a cycle of violence and sorrow. And each of these mass shootings compounds the pain and suffering each community has uniquely endured. The AAPI community has suffered the rise in anti-Asian hate. The Jewish community has suffered the rise in antisemitism. The Black community has suffered for so long the sins of racism and hatred that have plagued our nation since its inception.
It is not enough for only the bluest of blue states to enact sensible gun regulations, because this does not solve the root of the issue: our society’s obsession with guns as a political symbol. Of course, the Second Amendment is important. Of course, the government shouldn’t take away all guns from all people. This is not what we need and not what most people want, on either side of the aisle.
We need to push past the “all or nothing” framing of the gun debate. We need to recognize and learn from the fact that other nations, including other wealthy, democratic nations, are able to survive and thrive without a culture that elevates guns as a political symbol. We need to address the intersectional, compounded harms that gun violence has done on already marginalized communities. We need national legislative solutions.
