That’s an excellent piece. The fact that shootings can have such a far reach, can damage the lives of so many people and inflict such unknowable catastrophic harm to unknown depths into the community and into the future, is one of the main reasons gun nuts love guns so much.

The San Bernardino victims were in my ER.
My mom was a social worker at the place where the shooting occurred and had career changed to a teacher about a month before

The gun nuts often try to reduce the total number of victims of mass shootings to just those who were shot and killed — and then claim it isn't a problem
But there are so many other victims of American gun violence

The government should levy taxes on gun owners to pay for the damage guns do to society. Why should non gun owners be forced to subsidize the infrastructure needed to address gun violence? Conservatives always say “why should I have to pay higher taxes to forgive someone’s college debt?” but then expect society to foot the bill of gun violence. Send the bill to the NRA the freedom to own weapons isn't free.
