Quote by Shellen Lubin

“We cannot have reckless hope... Everything that actually happens happens in the real world, our real world. We need to take action, have hope and faith, but also learn from what actually occurs... Another tricky balancing act. Another contradictory co-existing reality. Another tightrope dance.”

Richard grabbed David’s shoulder. “But Dr. Bar David. Your story, tragic as it is, ends up being the reason for this whole public gun melting, right? A few words from you about—” David lost it. “Listen! My whole life changed that day. When that meshugener killed my entire family, my wife and my son, in an instant! With a gun he purchased the week before!” David grabbed the kid’s throat. “I do not want to talk about it. Don’t mention me in your article. I will sue you!
