I'm not sure how accurate that really is anymore.
If Ulvade and/or SandyHook didn't change anything, nothing else will. :/
What's astounding to me is any of us old enough to remember 9/11 remember the phrase "9/11 changed everything." But school after school has massacres of children and it changes nothing.
I remember it well. 9/11 did change lots of things (not for the better either), but it did galvanize the nation. Now my son has to have active-shooter drills in school and we have to act like it's normal. I guess that is new/changed.
It galvanized the nation for about 4 days, until GWB and other prominent politicians set the populace upon itself, and the divide widened.
