For the record, if I should happen to be murdered by someone with a gun, I grant all supporters of sensible gun control legislation full permission to politicize my death — as quickly as they like.
I reject any notion that the months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes after a violent firearm incident are “not the time for political debate.”
It’s everyone’s First Amendment right to criticize the way some Americans interpret the Second Amendment’s support for a “well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State.”
It will in no way dishonor my memory if, as part of your mourning process, you challenge overly permissive gun control laws.

    I both like and hate that Canvas tracks the number of unmarked assignments that await me. (This number was 230 this weekend.) If marking papers was all I needed to do, this number would be much lower.
