It's Michigan's turn I guess...

Hey…
I haven’t posted in months. I have a job that works me 60 hours a week plus classes, so I’ve been lurking mostly.
But today I’m pissed. A 6-year-old boy killed a 6-year-old girl today at a school in suburban Flint, in my state, Michigan.
Last year, we had the youngest person put on trial for murder ever.
What’s going on? And what’s it gonna take for some meaningful gun control in this country?
I’m probably gonna have kids in 10 years. I didn’t want to have to talk to them about school violence their first day of kindergarten. Looks like I might have to. Ugh… it blows my mind sometimes.
