This is my friend's beautiful child. #AnaGrace, a kindergartener, was murdered at #SandyHook. We still have no gun control. Her parents still mourn. https://t.co/VDTTbjqJDq

We tend to lump victims into groups and forget individual stories. Their pain is unique and significant. Thank you, @Nelba_MG, for sharing your story. Sending you all my love and strength today. #GunControlNow https://t.co/i2uHS2riQe
