The Uvalde, TX school shootings happened slightly over 2 weeks ago and the details are as gory as can be expected. Unfortunately it looks like any meaningful change is unlikely in the short term. As an Indian (and world citizen) I do not understand why guns are essential for everyday life. Looking through the lens of America, I can see how weapons are part of the history and there is a certain deterrence people prefer given the size of the country. Hunting guns also make sense. But I’ve never been able to fathom why civilians need military grade semi-automatic weapons. Such weapons are not for defense. Identification of the children massacred required DNA analysis or clothing -
