“How is this still happening?” asked a woman who had survived a previous shooting and was in Nashville for a family vacation when the latest school massacre happened
in the U.S.—not including at colleges and universities—since the Columbine High massacre in 1999.
“How is this still happening?” Beasley asked. “How are our children still dying, and why are we failing them?” Lawmakers have long been divided over more restrictive federal legislation on firearms, and though the debate gets reignited every time there is a high-profile mass shooting, it always seems to end in a stalemate.President Joe Biden said at the White House Monday that more needs to be done to stop gun violence. “It’s ripping our communities apart, ripping at the very soul of the nation.”
Beasley is not alone in grieving and questioning the lack of safeguards for children. “WHY ARE OUR CHILDREN BEING MASSACRED IN THEIR SCHOOLS?!,” asks Britney Grayson, a pediatric surgeon who posted on social media that she had just visited The Covenant School to speak to children there about working in Kenya. She said she left the school only minutes before the shooting began.
