For my Trump supporting friends and family, acquaintances, and internet compatriots:

Do you wring your hands and worry as I do about gun violence? Do you think twice before you head into a crowded venue or event? Do you even consider that our lives as Americans are threatened by white supremacy and domestic terrorism everywhere we go?

I went to high school with a victim of the Gilroy shooting. My friend’s nephew was killed at Sandy Hook. I have family in Dayton that I laid awake worrying about all night once I heard the news.

This is on my doorstep and it’s on yours, too.

I hear your vacant whispers of thoughts and prayers. I feel your dissonance towards the rest of us who won’t tolerate Trump’s divisive and problematic, racist rhetoric. I see you turning your cheek and shrugging your shoulders because it’s “not a gun issue”. I can’t imagine today will be the day you decide to engage with me about this.

I’m not going to pretend to think any of you will even consider investing yourself into this emotional labor, but I want you to know that your silence and complacency is louder than your stagnant voices. It is absolutely deafening.

This is a gun issue. We need policy change now. For my kids and your kids and the brown kids and the gay kids, the poor kids and the rich kids.

These things aren’t supposed to be partisan, you see.

Without our safety, we have nothing. 📷 @theadventuresofjennie

dee34krf While I respect your opinion, I have to disagree. It's not a gun issue. Thousands of law abiding citizens conceal carry, and in many instances those people have stopped what could be a mass shooting or horrible incident. Chicago this weekend had a "mass" shooting at a park at 0130 in the morning. Chicago and Illinois have some of the strictest gun laws in the US; however, there are still shootings every day with guns purchased illegally. The news isn't covering Chicago because it doesn't support their agenda. Those folks are no less important than people elsewhere, but mainstream news doesn't talk about the violence there. Gun, knives, bombs...it doesn't matter. If someone wants to commit such a heinous act they WILL find a way. A truck was used in France, a knife was used in London (where they can't carry anything). California has strict gun laws also, but do we hear about all the violence in , say, inner Los Angeles every day? Watch some YouTube channels that follow that kind of thing and it may broaden some perspectives. Taking weapons from law abiding people will not stop this, education and a change in the mental health system could tho. I would much rather go somewhere when I know I have a chance to protect my family and myself. My heart goes out to everyone injured and the families of those killed. The response times by law enforcement in these 2 instances was amazing, but that is not the norm. I am a 911 dispatcher, and trust me, police aren't always close. There may come a time when someone when a good person with a gun may be your only option, but I sincerely hope that never happens though. If we can all work together without name calling and such. People seem to think just because you disagree, it means open season on berating each other. It does not. The conceal carry person, in a heinous situation, will help no matter what side of the isle you sit on.

carrielynnm55 @acathey You can not say that's duly related to Trump being president. There has also been a change in culture. Heroin use has gone up, violence used in music, television, new forms of social media rising up. Our desensitization of violence and every song talking about guns seems to have more influence on young adults than a president. You are assuming after his presidency that this will cease. It wont. Theres an increase going on. You seem to forget many violent acts and senseless shootings occurred when Obama was president. I really feel that leftist use Trump, one man, as the reason for the violence or attributing to it. Not society. They seem to leave society out of it. That's the problem. Schools do not support mental health. Music, sex, violence is everywhere. You have little kids seeing this. Videos on instagram, you tube, and so forth. Face it. Young adults doing this are a byproduct of the environment. They didnt get turned because of a middle-old aged president. That's what adults want to believe so they can feel better about their political agenda.

daisybentley0 Borrowed: "I stand behind you in line at the store with a smile on my face...and a gun under my shirt and you are none the wiser, yet you are safer for having me next to you. I won't shoot you. My gun won't pull it's own trigger. It is securely holstered with the trigger covered. It can't just go off. However, rest assured that if a lunatic walks into the grocery store and pulls out a rifle, I will draw my pistol and protect myself and my family and therefore protect you and your family. I may freeze up. I may piss my pants. I may get shot before I can pull the trigger...but, I won't die in a helpless blubbering heap on the floor begging for my life or my child's life. I won't be that victim. I choose not to be. As for you, I don't ask you to carry a gun. If you are not comfortable, then please don't. But I would like to keep my right to choose to not be a helpless victim. There is evil in the world and if evil has a gun, I want one too...

acathey @carrielynnm55 I agree that the world continues its desensitization, which happens with each decade. I also agree, sadly, that violence will continue regardless of what political party is in office. The research I noted was specifically looking at the direct link between his words, one man’s words, and the violent impact that its had. As president, his words have an immense impact, unlike anyone else in the world. Like I said, I don’t believe that Trump is solely responsible & the left skewers him unnecessarily. I do believe that his words have energized an alt-right agenda & research proves it. Trump has done some really positive things, but to blindly discount his inciting words as being from “just one man”, and it’s all societies fault, is a fairly simplistic. It’s disappointing that most party-followers (left or right) can’t assess him, his actions and his words from an unbiased viewpoint.

suthrnbella @smwojnowiak I am not sure why you want people to edit their comments. I said what I feel and mean. You lost me at "encourage you to rethink". My feelings and thoughts on that day are what I felt and still feel. If you pray heart felt prayers, then they are appreciated. Yet, there are people who say it in passing to make themselves feel like they actually did something. You can not suggest I change my comment to make you or others feel comfortable. If I did, it would not be my honest opinion, it would be a programmed response. If it made you feel uncomfortable, search your own heart and ask why did it bother you, not suggest I make it softer to appease you or anyone else. Notice in your response, you stated how you felt as though it trumped how I felt and suggested I reword it. In my case, it doesn't and I won't. You have a lovely day. Travel Light

acathey @carrielynnm55 I see your point and can certainly understand, but, from my opinion, Trump “brutally honest” is actually a bunch of crap. I totally get the “drain the swamp” and other tales, but really, that’s not actually what happens with him. He’s so incredibly dishonest that at this point I have trouble believing the numbers he touts at a city rally. He’s my president. That alone deserves my respect and hope for what he can do for our country. I see the good, the bad and the ugly, but still hold hope that God has willed his tenure for a reason. But I have trouble reconciling the alt-right massacres that’s been happening under his presidency. [While some certainly displayed signs of mental illness, all share a history of consuming and/or participating in the type of far-right ecosystem that defines the alt-right.
