Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, Tennessee State Legislators, gun reform activists, men of courage and conviction. Photo by Mario Sorrenti. Their story is here. Also, I love the picture.
That is an incredible picture. As a resident of the UK, I struggle with understanding the reluctance is some in the US to accept stricter gun control - I get that the gun lobby is strong , and that there is a constitutional right to bare arms , but when children and babies are dying it makes no sense . I am not suggesting that the UK doesn’t have its own pandemic of violence - we do, more often with knives but increasingly guns .
I salute these young men for doing what is right S xoxo
REPRESENT!!! represent a new model- god, I love these guys!! Thank you for the article. Change comes slowly, never smoothly- this change is coming ,looking mighty!
Well, you know me and my overly-emotional state of mind- looking at those young men's beautiful faces and reading their words brought tears to my eyes. They give me hope. They make me believe. They are a representation of possibility and quiet strength.
A beautiful portrait. Just look at those angelic faces. I love that they stood up for justice and truth. So little of that going on these days. Men like these give me hope for our future.
