On Uvalde

Rage is a perfectly healthy response to the news out of Texas that an 18-year-old murdered 19 children at an elementary school. I felt sick dropping off my children at school today. At the gut level, I understand why people want to turn their rage into corrective action. America truly is unique in these horrors at schools. Even countries with lots of gun crime (mostly in the Western Hemisphere), don’t have this problem of nihilistic mass killings. I suspect that if there is any policy to address this scourge, it would be right at the intersection of mental-health and firearms control. Our old friend David French advocates for “red flag” laws at The Dispatch.
