After the recent tragedies in Orlando, the gun control, mental health, and refugee debates have all risen again. There are people saying that guns are the problem, or that mental health is really the issue, or that letting refugees into our country equates to letting terrorists in. Now, there are enough sides to each debate, and I’m not here to talk about that.

Every time a mass shooting occurs, and specifically when they get media coverage, we see widespread grief in the nation. We see vigils, fundraisers, and Facebook might even give you a profile filter. Whether it’s a mass shooting, a terrorist attack, or a natural disaster, you will definitely get 24-hour CNN coverage on it for at least 23 more hours than you needed.

We, as a collective society, come together and mourn for the victims of the Orlando massacre. We mourn for Christina Grimmie. We mourn for every victim that gets new coverage, but somehow, the everyday occurrences that these events truly are seem to go unnoticed.

There have been 76 days this year where mass shootings occurred. Only 88 days have been without one. But we probably didn’t hear about any of those shootings, not on a national level. The Orlando shooting is the tragedy getting the most coverage right now, not only because it is recent, but it is the deadliest mass shooting in American history.

But we don’t hear about the other 132 mass shootings, unless we live in the area. For the most part, we are oblivious to how much of a problem this is. We accept mass shootings as a part of our lives now. We accept that people are killed literally every day from gun violence. And for a while, we care. We care so deeply about these issues that caused these tragedies that we get in fights with friends and family, we make angry Facebook posts, and if we’re the type, we might even call our senators.

Eventually, the noise dies down. CNN stops reporting on the shooting, efforts in Congress slowly stop, and we go back to our normal lives. We only care about these issues when we hear about them. If we don’t know, we’re not angry. If we can only take action when we care, then by all means, continue the coverage of every mass shooting in the United States until it stops. Cover it so much that we are forced to care for longer than a month.

I’m not saying that we don’t care—I’m saying that we stop caring. We all care at the beginning, but few of us follow through on that to actually take action or continue to fight for the change they want. There may not be a lot a single person can do. It is going to take a collective leap for our culture to completely decide we do not want to be number one for gun violence in the world. We have to decide this permanently, and we have to continue to fight and influence our elected officials to pass the legislation that will prevent these shootings from happening again and again and again and again.

I don’t know about you, but I’m angry. I’ve been angry about this for a while, and I’m going to stay angry. I want our Congress to pass legislation that will require background checks at gun shows, mandate waiting periods, and not allow people suspected of terrorism, and people already on no-fly lists, to be prohibited from purchasing guns. I want these lists to be comprehensive. I want legislation that will ban guns that can fire 13 rounds per second, and not just 18 specific guns, but over 900 of them. I want these laws to be strict and free of loopholes.

We cannot stop caring now. If we want to see change, we absolutely have to stick with this. If you are angry about this, like I am, you have to remember that this is not just a problem that happens a few times a year. Gun violence is a daily occurrence in the United States.

We may not be able to do much, but what we can do is continue to care. Call your state senator. Send letters and emails to your state senator. Educate yourself on gun legislation and form your own opinions. Even if we don’t agree on the “gun control” debate, we should at least agree that allowing this type of killing to happen on a daily basis has got to stop. This, this type of bloodshed, should not be happening every day.

In the end, if we really want to see change, we have to care, and we have to care for longer than the news covers it.
