The school year just started, and children in Minneapolis are already faced with a horrific school shooting that will leave behind endless trauma. Going to class shouldn't be a death sentence.

Until we have more elected officials willing to place gun safety over allegiance to the gun lobby, more and more families will face unbearable suffering from random acts of violence.

Congress could—and should—pass stricter gun safety laws, but continues to cave to the gun lobby.
