Erin would be 37.

In a heartbreaking reminder of the past, Erin, who tragically died at 18 during the 2007 Virginia Tech attack, would have been celebrating her 37th birthday this year. Her story resonates deeply as we reflect on the impact of gun violence in our society. The Virginia Tech shooting serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of inaction regarding gun laws.

Her killer was a red flag poster boy.

The shooter in this tragic incident was a clear example of a “red flag” individual. He exhibited warning signs that could have potentially prevented the horrific events from unfolding. Yet, despite these signs, he was allowed to buy guns, highlighting significant gaps in our current gun legislation and mental health assessments.

But he was allowed to buy guns.

This fact raises critical questions about the effectiveness of our gun laws. How can we allow individuals with known issues to access firearms? The system failed Erin and countless others. It’s time for a serious reevaluation of our approach to gun ownership and regulation to prevent similar tragedies from occurring.

He killed 17 people.

The devastating outcome of the Virginia Tech attack resulted in the loss of 17 innocent lives. Each life lost is a reminder of the urgent need for change. We must honor the memories of victims like Erin by advocating for policies that prioritize public safety and mental health.
