Hi! Here’s an article that “yours truly” wrote for U.S. News & World Report.

Last paragraph of article:

April 2009. Columbine shattered any remaining hopes of schools being the safest place in the world. School shootings and mass public shootings have dramatically increased. We live in a time of moral deterioration. We’ve sadly come to the realization that any one of us could become a victim of violent crime anytime, anywhere. I believe that people with differing views on gun control can work together to find solutions to stop the violence. In the meantime, this mom will cling to her guns and religion for her protection.
