Seeing her daughter standing on the toilet, Stacey Wherman Feeley, a mom from Traverse City, Michigan, meant well when she took this photo to send to her husband! She thought the little girl was playing around, but she obviously wasn’t!

When her darling told her where she got the idea... the mom realized how serious the whole things was.

It isn’t just a simple pose inspired by a game, but something she learned in kindergarten. The teacher told her students what to do in case of an attack or assault by a gunman: “hide in the bathroom and get on the toilet, so he won’t see your feet.”

This explanation deeply moved the mother who felt schools have violated the innocence of her little girl. How is it a normal thing to teach children to hide from gunmen, instead of preventing them from having guns?

“Politicians - take a look. This is your child, your children, your grandchildren, your great grandchildren 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?

No one thinks gun control will be 100% crime control. But maybe, just maybe, it helps 1% or 2% or 50%? Who knows unless we try? Why on earth are there not universal background checks?

Why are high capacity magazines ever permitted to be sold to anyone other than direct to the military? Is that really necessary to protect yourself or hunt for that matter?

Banning together, signing petitions, rallying to get your voice heard is good, but is it actually doing anything or just making us feel better about the current situation? We need action.

I applaud politicians like Senator Chris Murphy but so many of our elected politicians can’t manage to work together, but it is up to us if we want change.

I want to know what new smart technology is being built for safer guns, advanced security in public places, databases, traveling care for the mentally ill…anything!

Entrepreneurs, innovators, are you there? Can I help? Can I help you make a difference?

I am not pretending to have all the answers or even a shred of them, but unless you want your children standing on top of a toilet, we need to do something! Please share.

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America

The way people think makes me mad. Guns aren’t bad, criminals are bad, and criminals aren’t the one who will give up their weapons anytime soon.

If I'm in a public place and a crazy person shows up, I will make sure to show him the unarmed people and then use my LEGAL weapon to protect myself and my family."
