I just reviewed my last blog entry which was a guest post.
I am so saddened…
WHAT WILL WE DO???
What will we do to protect our children from needless deaths and violence while they are just trying to learn, grow and become the future of this country?
When people talk about the second amendment and gun rights, how can they reconcile that premiss with the reality of yesterday?
I believe in individual rights, yet who needs an assault weapon? Why can an 18 year old walk right in and buy one… what about universal background checks? What about how this affects the whole of our future? And the future health of generations of young people who have experienced fear just going to school?
Why is the response to teach kids how to brace under their desks, lock the doors, look for escape instead of addressing the issue of REMOVING THE OPTION FOR ANY OF THIS TO BE NEEDED!!
I reached out to a good friend today who happens to be a lawyer, and a great one at that, who has argued before the Supreme Court… and yes, they are actually now part of the problem with their extreme conservative bent.
Why can’t we agree to protect the most vulnerable of our country by giving them the respect they deserve?
Why don”t we do what Australia did and ban automatic weapons, semi-automatic weapons, create a national firearms registry and make a 28 day long waiting process for gun registry???
Why not also move the legal age to be able to purchase a gun to 21?
WHY NOT MAKE THESE CHANGES TO CREATE SAFE SCHOOL FOR ALL OUR CHILDREN!!!
COME ON PEOPLE!!! BE BRAVE… LETS FIGHT FOR THE KIDS OF THIS COUNTRY…
VOTE, DONATE, SPEAK OUT AND LET’S RAISE OUR COLLECTIVE VOICE!!!
Let’s change this!
Appreciate your reading,
