Another school shooting? Ho hum (“A 14-year-old student fatally shot 4 people in a rampage at a Georgia high school, officials say,” Sept. 4).

When nothing was done to change America’s gun laws after 20 children, just 6 and 7 years old, and six adults were murdered at Sandy Hook in 2012, it was crystal clear that America has chosen guns over their children. So stop with the vigils and the praying and the hand wringing. The hypocrisy is astonishing if you aren’t also working to get military weapons out of civilian hands.
