14 Children Died in the Parkland Shooting. Nearly 1,200 Have Died From Guns Since.
Page 1 of 1 • Share
From The New York Times
This is a sad anniversary to mark, and we are still waiting for our elected leaders to do something more than offer thoughts and prayers. How many more lives will have to be taken before something is done? How many more times will Trump supporters blame Barack Obama when this happened on Trump's watch? After all, it was their fear that "Obama's gonna take our guns" and he never did that. When the next person dies from gun violence, who do you blame then?
Just Saying.

Fourteen students died on Feb. 14, 2018, in Parkland, Fla., inspiring marches, new laws and widespread calls to stop the onslaught of gun deaths. But in the year since one of the worst school shootings in the United States, nearly 1,200 more children have lost their lives to guns in this country.
The number alone might stop most people in their tracks. But editors at The Trace, a nonprofit news organization that reports on gun violence, wanted to remember the dead not as statistics, but as human beings with rich histories. This week they launched “Since Parkland,” a website compiling profiles of every one of the victims. To tell their stories, The Trace turned to those who could relate most closely to the victims: other young people.
That’s how Mary Claire Molloy, 18, found herself trying to sum up the life of a 9-month-old boy, Jason Garcia Perez, who — along with two of his siblings — was shot and killed in August in Clearlake, Calif., by his father, who then shot and killed himself.
