Actress Katie Stevens, who lives in Nashville and recently gave birth to her first child, wrote the following on her Instagram story: “I spent this morning crying for families who can no longer hold their babies. I will never understand why this keeps happening. And why children die because our country does not apply laws to protect them. The fact that there are laws to “protect” kids from drag queens and not gun violence is BREAKING me. I can’t believe my daughter has to grow up and go to school where she has to learn to stop a sniper in kindergarten when she should only be concerned with learning to color and play. I feel devastated and heartbroken and hopeless and I am so sorry for these families.”

We live in a world where it has become acceptable to shoot dead children in school.
