After Florida, I see the NRA as nothing less than a terrorist organization

What else would you call a group that ensures I need to have a conversation with my daughter about how to survive a school shooting?

‘We have to stop voting for Republicans; we have to stop voting for people who take money from the NRA.’
"I try so hard not to let tragedies like the one that happened at a Florida high school this week feel like just another shooting. This happens so often, it’s easy to fall into frozen despair. If child after child is killed, and still our politicians do nothing – how can we expect anything to change?"

The truth is that we have to stop voting for Republicans; we have to stop voting for people who take money from the NRA. At this point, I consider them nothing less than a terrorist organization – what else would you call a group that ensures I have to have a conversation with my seven-year-old about playing dead should she be unable to run away from a shooter.

This is no way to live.
