I find the first part of the article incredibly sad, specifically this part: "Noir Goldberg doesn’t remember when she stopped doing earthquake drills and started doing active-shooter drills. At just 17, she belongs to a generation that has never known a world without gun violence."

The troubles in Ireland ended once the people had decided enough children had died. In Washington, the children have decided. When will the GOP/NRA decide enough children have died in the rest of the country?

I'm not sure that fits in at all with their narrative, and only once the people supporting the unsupportable policies of both the GOP and NRA stop voting them in or donating to their murderous causes will anything change.
