It’s not about guns, Helen!

Helen

Kate
Damnnn girl. Too soon.
Helen
Kate it’s not a joke. It must be a copy cat killer.
They’re shooting through the walls of the classroom.
Idk if you are getting this message.
Kate
That’s not funny Helen there are grieving families.
And you know it’s not about guns.
Helen
I think it is about guns. The guys got a gun and it’s really big and its really loud and it’s killing people, if he didn’t have that big f-in gun he wouldn’t be able to kill us.
Kate
No, it’s about mental health. People should have warned the authorities.
Helen
I love you, I’m really scared.
Kate
Yeah, but it’s not about guns, OK?
Helen
Ok. I guess.
KATE
Now is not the time to debate that. Can’t you leftists just let people alone with their grief? I love you too btw.
HELEN
I know. I think he’s getting closer. I don’t think I’m gonna make it.
KATE
But not because of the guns. Because of the mental health, right?
HELEN
Right…Oh shit…he’s got the gun pointed at me.
KATE
Damn, Helen. It’s not about guns… Helen? Are you there?
