I wrote years ago in the NYT on American gun violence after an anguishing attack at a community college in Oregon where my mother was attending a course on how to navigate retirement. She was badly shaken. So was I. I can't imagine sending my children to school today in the United States. But, like other hard-dried American policies involving inutterable violence perpetrated on helpless civilians, including children, powerful lobbying groups prevent the evident and urgent humanitarian and moral step back from the senseless brink.
