Tamera opens up about her grief after her niece was killed in the Borderline Bar & Grill shooting last year (via toofab)
"The reality is this stuff is happening way more than it should so we are forced to have to accept this as a reality. But I feel like, I actually saw a meme that describes America when it comes to gun violence. We have a massive shooting, thoughts and prayers are followed, then we see Facebook debates, then everyone forgets, then congress does absolutely nothing, we hear crickets chirping, and the cycle happens again," she continued.
"I don't want it to get to a point that it has to happen to you that you're finally sensitive on the subject," said Tamera. "I feel like sometimes, the hardest part is when the whole world moves on and you're still dealing with it. We're coming up on a year for the Borderline shooting and like you were saying, I feel like nothing is happening.""I can only speak as a victim of this, but I don't want my niece to have died in vain," she added.
Tamera then pleaded for Americans to "step out of politics" and think abut "the safety of just humans," asking for more background checks for firearms. Cohost Adrienne Bailon said she doesn't believe there's any need for citizens to have assault weapons, before Loni Love said we all need to stop putting "darkness and a lot of hate and a lot of mockery" out into the world. The women also said that mental health and bullying were factors to consider as well.
