Mother’s Heartbreaking Photo Of 3-Year-Old Practicing Mass Shooting Survival Drill Goes Viral (VIDEO)

Last week a Michigan mom named Stacey Wehrman Feeley posted a cute photo of her three-year-old daughter on Facebook. She was standing on a toilet. Since then the viral photo has now gotten about 35,00 shares and 40,000 likes.

At first, Feeley had no idea what her child was doing, she thought she was just taking a picture of her daughter being cute. But when her daughter explained that she was practicing a mass shooting survival tactic that they learned in preschool, the mother broke down in tears.

Feeley made this Facebook post once she realized what was happening:

“Politicians – take a look. This is your child, your children, your grandchildren, your great grand children and future generations to come. They will live their lives and grow up in this world based on your decisions. They are barely 3 and they will hide in bathroom stalls standing on top of toilet seats. I do not know what will be harder for them? Trying to remain quiet for an extended amount of time or trying to keep their balance without letting a foot slip below the stall door?”

She went on to explain that she was not seeking to have the Second Amendment abolished. She just didn’t understand why things like universal background checks, gun registration databases, and high capacity magazine limitations were so hard for politicians on Capitol Hill to come together and pass laws on.

Her viral photo has also drawn many comments with most commenters agreeing with the distraught mother’s position.

But of course, there were a few less than supportive posts from NRA gun nuts.

I usually don’t involve myself in the story, but the last post from Mr. Oliver drew a personal reply. Here it is:

Here’s an interesting map displaying all the school mass shootings in America since 2013.

Eventually, more mothers like Feeley will override the NRA’s control over Congress. Gun owners need to think long and hard on if they really want to go up against the protective instincts of millions of frightened mothers.

Mothers that are worried about protecting their children from gun violence. It’s time to come to the table and compromise on common sense measures we can all live with.

And if they are worried that compromise is a slippery slope, perhaps they need to instead consider the steep cliff at the end of America’s current course.
