“My son Jessie was on the phone with me, telling me every detail of what was happening. As he was on the phone with me, he and I listened together as we heard the gunshots on the third floor that were killing my daughter, killing his sister. And my perfectly normal average every day, American life, became broken and it became shattered,” he says.
“No matter where I go, people agree with what I’m trying to do. They support it. And as long as I keep getting that sense, I will have hope that we can fix this,” he says. “Every act of gun violence that happened right now is preventable. It’s also predictable. And the next one, that will happen sometime within the hour that we’re on this interview, is also predictable because we haven’t done anything to change that dynamic.
