The numbers are unbelievable. As I write this, we are 12 weeks into 2018, and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/02/us/school-shootings-2018-list-trnd/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">there have been 17 school shootings in the US where someone was injured or killed</a>. 1.4 per week. And, if you look outside of schools, there have been to date <a href="https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/mass-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">50 mass shootings</a> where 4 or more people were injured or killed, not counting the shooter. 50 since January 1, 2018.

Never Again.

I plan to talk to my US and Texas Representatives and Senators about the issue. Yesterday, I went with my two oldest to the March For Our Lives protest in Houston. I am proud to say, it was my kids who wanted to go.

Naturally, I took my camera and tried to capture the spirit of the event with photos of the signs and a couple of videos. They are posted in <a href="https://www.duckland.org/photos/Protests/2018-03-March-For-Our-Lives/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the photos section</a>.
