Good morning Congressional Republicans,
I see that your stance on a lack of gun control in this country remains steadfast despite two mass shootings within 24 hours. Not school shootings; this is summer vacation, mind you. Just common places where regular citizens go, like the store, and the bar. What anyone might call two typical weekend activities. The summer months were just so dry with school being out of session; America’s pastime had to find new venues again. I wonder if you ever feel worried for your own safety, or the safety of your children and other family members, the way I do? Or are your day-to-day activities at work, which are conducted in a building with the utmost protection and security probably known to man, not so jarring to you for that very comfort? I probably needn’t say this; it feels silly to bring up, gentlemen and embarrassingly low number of ladies— but that is very unique. What a privilege! What peace of mind it must bring you. I wonder, representatives, if you think you’d be as secure with your stance if your children or you yourselves were a little more vulnerable, lived lives with a little less protection, like, for example, those of your constituents. A word comes to mind but I’m not sure if you’ve heard it— it’s spelled empathy, and it has nothing to do with thoughts and prayers. It’s about feeling, but unfortunately, Congressional Republicans, you are numb under Trump’s knife. I urge you to recognize your immunity. Your constituents are dying en masse— who will you have left to "represent?" With disdain, Olivia
