The #MarchForOurLivesLA #MarchForOurLives is obviously well-intentioned. I just wish people *also* marched for the lives of the approximate 100 per day, 3000 per month, and 36,000 per year who die in our country for lack of health insurance. http://mattbruenig.com/2017/06/22/how-many-people-will-obamacare-and-ahca-kill/ …

And it truly *does* bother me that the reason they likely don’t march for this issue is because the marchers overwhelmingly *have* health insurance. If you have insurance, you aren’t in danger of becoming a casualty of this injustice. But you can be shot either way.

And that, ultimately, makes this march, whether the marchers realize this or not, a march of privilege. It’s the privilege of being able to afford insurance that causes people not to march for those in need. It’s self-interest that causes them to march for gun control.
