Isaac and an AR-15

Written for the 18 children and 2 teachers whose lives were senselessly cut short at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on 24 May 2022. And for the thousands of children and teachers who have died in the uniquely American phenomena of regular school shootings.

Before they are forgotten when the next shooting happens in weeks or days, here are the names:

Nevaeh Bravo, 10
Jacklyn Jaylen Cazares, 9
Makenna Lee Elrod, 10
Jose Flores, 10
Eliana Garcia, 9
Uziyah Garcia, 9
Amerie Jo Garza, 10
Xavier Javier Lopez, 10
Jayce Carmelo Luevanos, 10
Tess Marie Mata, 10
Maranda Mathis, 11
Alithia Ramirez, 10
Annabell Guadalupe Rodriguez, 10
Maite Yuleana Rodriguez, 10
Alexandria Aniyah Rubio, 10
Layla Salazar, 11
Jailah Nicole Silguero, 11
Eliahana Cruz Torres, 10
Rogelio Torres, 10
Irma Garcia, 48
Eva Mireles, 44

May they be what we look back on as the last shooting victims before Joe Bidden smashed the NRA and brought in gun control laws like those which have been proven to work in Australia and New Zealand.
