Opinion: More than 100 Americans will die from guns every day unless Democrats get rid of the filibuster
(CNN) Once again Americans are grieving over lives lost to another mass shooting. On Monday, 10 people, including a police officer, were killed at a Boulder, Colorado, King Soopers grocery store. Just six days ago, we began mourning the deaths of the eight people killed in Atlanta.
Sadly, my family and I are no strangers to this type of tragedy.
Like many young parents, my husband and I chose to move to Newtown, Connecticut, to send our children to Sandy Hook Elementary School. We felt we had found the safest neighborhood in the nation to raise our children but on December 14, 2012, we learned that no neighborhood in America is safe from gun violence. My 20-year-old neighbor shot his mother in his house a few hundred yards from my home, then drove to the elementary school with an AR-15 and high-capacity magazines to kill 26 children and educators in less than five minutes.
