“Enough”: The cover of Time for the Texas massacre

by

“Enough”. This is the title on his new cover, after massacre in Texaswhere 19 children and two teachers were killed when a young man stormed their school with a gun.

On the cover, the magazine lists areas where there have been bloody attacks and wonders: “When will we do something?”.

The word “Enough” and the question addressed by the magazine form a hammer, capturing the need for action. According to the magazine, 27 attacks took place in schools this year.

«Surely thoughts and prayers are more than enough for this record, which no other country in the world can reach.Wrote Edward Felsenthal, head of Time.

In the text accompanying the cover, Felsenthal refers to the word “enough” used by Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, recalling that the magazine has used it many times to express its anger at the bloody attacks.

«The biggest question, of course, far more important than what words we use, is what we do as a society. The hammer shape formed by this word on our new cover is intended to indicate the need for action“, He emphasizes, emphasizing that,”Americans call for controls and a ban on the purchase of weapons by people with mental illness».

Baden: “We must act”

There are no answers, and worst of all, there are no solutions as long as politics in the transatlantic country is held captive by the NRA, which is dominated by powerful politicians, gun lobbyists, and public figures in the United States. The new drama in elementary school found US President Biden returning from a visit to Japan. At the White House, with his black-clad wife Jill by his side and tears in his eyes, he said: “I’m tired of it. We must act. And do not tell me that we can not influence this massacre. I spent my career as a Senator and Vice President working on passing gun laws that reach common sense. We can not and will not prevent every tragedy, but we know that (the laws) work and have a positive impact».

Biden’s statement most characteristically outlines the limits of a president’s institutional tools to control a timeless scourge that is now gaining an “epidemic” of armed violence.
