“Julianne Moore: When
Gun Safety Got Personal For Me
I don't ever want to have
to explain another Newtown to my kids
On December 14, 2012, my
ten-year-old daughter was with me on a movie set in Queens. She had
just started her winter break, and because I'm privileged and lucky
enough to have a job that's rewarding and adaptive to my family life,
it wasn't out of the ordinary for me to bring her to work with me.
What was out of the ordinary was what happened that day at Sandy Hook
Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. A young man walked into an
elementary school and shot 20 children and six adults in just
minutes.
I knew I wouldn't be able
to keep the news away from my daughter forever, but I didn't want her
to hear it accidentally. I figured I would tell her when we came home
and her brother and father were there. I wanted to explain it and not
scare her. But how was I going to tell my young daughter that
children were massacred in their classrooms? How could I explain that
level of atrocity? So I kept the radio off in the car, the TV off in
the trailer. I asked hair and makeup, the crew, and the other actors
not to mention it, and we got through the day.
And then we got home. She
picked up her newly acquired phone, with her carefully considered and
limited number of apps and her monitored Instagram account, and
asked, "Mommy, did a bunch of little kids get shot today?"
