On May 13, 1972, my 20 year old brother Michael was fatally shot following a robbery on a CTA”el” train on the way home from Loyola University. This Mother’s Day weekend, my family observed the 40th anniversary of his death. When I ask my students of Oakton Community College in Chicago how many of them know someone who was shot or killed with a gun, a third of the hands in my class go up. Gun violence is an epidemic affecting our students like it never affected earlier generations. We are so offended about Olympic uniforms made overseas. We should be concerned about guns made and sold in the USA.
