With the spotlight on the inexperienced armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, we unravel the complex thread of decisions that allowed such a catastrophe to unfold. Through a lattice of personal gun safety experiences, we confront the stark reality of what can happen when protocols are disregarded, be it with real firearms or the seemingly innocuous toy guns in children's hands.
