What more can be said?
Why do I post about this? Why do any of us? Perhaps it's cathartic, perhaps I hope my words will somehow, in the ether, help contribute towards change.
Every time I hear about a shooting, I pray (not in a literal sense) that there'll be injuries, but not fatalities. American or not, I think the shooting of anyone in cold blood is awful.
Fuck senators, the NRA, GOA and anyone else responsible.
No doubt the "If I had a gun and was passing..." brigade will be on social media tonight.
And I suspect the politicians will be out with their prayers soon. Fuck them, too.
How can they say they are pro-life? Yes, you are, for 9 months when a child is in a womb; after that, not pro-life.
Okay, I want to make this topic useful: realistically (legally), is there anything, even the barest beginnings, that could be done to do something about gun violence? (And gun violence seems a redundant term because the only purpose of guns is violence, yes I realise that can be in self-defence, e.g. a sheriff protecting life).
I suppose the "Would we tell Ford to not produce cars because of drunk drivers?" advocates will be out on social media, too.
If deaths are to be never in vain, something surely must be done sooner or later.
