Our sick society is causing irrevocable damage to our children.

1. K&R and thanks. Those adults were fighting tears, and so was I.

They should also be fighting our country's gun-humping pathology.

[cp]

26. My feelings exactly.

Only I would change your second sentence to: WE are fighting our country's gun-humping pathology.
Thank you.

2. This made me cry. We can save every baby like her if we pool our individual blue votes

into a massive blue wave tsunami.

[malaise]

3. Tears

No children should have to deal with this - stop the guns

[Pachamama]

7. I am choked up after this....

[Control-Z]

4. This is a "Must Watch"! n/t

[lunatica]

5. This made me cry.

The child’s sing song is something you would hear in a horror movie. I’m glad I will never have grandchildren if that is the future normal.

[FakeNoose]

6. It's poignant, yet shocking at the same time

Well done!

8. .

9. This reminds me of another heartbreaker...

Evening news was interviewing a kid in Syria...about 8 yrs old. Lots of war noise in the background. The kid could pick out the individual weapons by their sound.
JFC!

We haven't gotten there yet... but it looks like we're headed there.

10. We are raising warriors. Republicans have taken away our children's age of innocense.

Never sit out another election when there is a democrat that needs your vote. Any democrat/liberal/progressive/conservative democrat on any ballot is better than any republican/libertarian/tea-party facist.

11. K&R for visibility.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

12. As someone with a personal attachment to the Parkland Massacre

I can tell you that this is what ALL of America's children are NOW dealing with EVERY day.

Their innocence has been ripped away from them and they have been robbed of what should be the best years of their young lives.

[BarbD]

13. Ban assault weapons NOW.

There is no reason that anyone should own one.

[forgotmylogin]

18. Agreed.

If gun owners are going to continue to scream "2nd Amendment", at least lower caliber non-automatic weapons will increase the survivability chance when our "well-regulated militias" decide they feel like shooting at children.

Their response is "people already have them so this won't work". Fine. Nobody else will be able to purchase them.

[rainin]

14. Shocking!

This made me sick to my stomach.

[LuckyCharms]

15. Tears. n/t

[pazzyanne]

16. This makes me sad in my soul!

No child should have to experience this fear on a daily basis. What have we done to make this better for our children. Nothing, thanks to the NRA and gun humpers. I want to scream when they say "Guns don't kill, people do." People with guns have guns to use to kill. period. Yes, there are responsible gun owners and I am not talking about them. Too many people with serious mental health issues have access to guns. Guns are to readily available to anyone in this country that has the money to purchase them. Military grade weapons, bump stocks, and extended magazines have no business being sold to the average gun owner. You do not need them to do hunting. A true hunter gives their prey a chance at eluding them in the name of good sportsmanship. No child should be the prey of a "man or woman with a gun".

17. This just ain't right

[NoMoreRepugs]

19. I encourage Rachel to play it on her program.

Then ask the question....."Is this how you want your kids, grandchildren, nephews and nieces to have to grow up?"

[barbtries]

20. it is just heartbreaking that

rather than make sure children are not threatened at school, we teach them this. at my granddaughter's school, some idiot decided not to let the children know it was only a drill - one of her classmates peed his pants he was so terrified. he will never forget this traumatic event.

[murielm99]

21. When I was a kid,

I used to have nightmares about fire drills. I can imagine how much worse this is.

The Our Lady of the Angels fire happened when I was ten. It did not help my terror of school fires.

[barbtries]

23. i remember

folding myself up under my desk and putting my hands over my neck. to survive a nuclear bomb you know. we always knew it was a drill. fire drills never disturbed me; i don't remember them hardly at all.

[Capperdan]

22. The Leader of our Country is the Sickest

First step is Impeachment. And do it quickly.

[scardycat]

24. Powerful!!! n/t

25. The song at the end OMG! n/t
