The Bridge
Mass shooting in Texas elementary school. Enough is enough, but is there a solution?
The Bridge pays condolences to those who lost their children in the recent mass shooting in a Texas elementary school. At least 21 people were killed Tuesday morning on May 24th, including 19 school children. This episode of The Bridge was recorded and produced before this tragedy. Podcaster Jason chose this topic because too many mass shootings had happened in the U.S. in recent months. According to the Gun Violence Archive, as we entered the 144th day of the year, this recent case is at least the 212th mass shooting. Americans used to be proud for their freedom and choice to carry firearms since it's believed to be a way of self-protection. But people died and more are dying, including children. Vice-president Kamala Harris said, 'Enough is enough.' When can we really call it an end? The discussion was between Jason Smith and BeiBei.
