My heart goes out to those families who's lives have been devastated by the Sandy Hook shootings.
Those children and their teachers who were gunned down in this sickening atrocity should never be forgotten!
May they rest in peace!
Sadly politicians will once again hide behind old arguments and the American Constitution to ensure that their political funding continues to flow from all those that profit from the manufacture and sale of guns.
They will hide behind the argument that Americas should be doing more to help the mentally impaired rather than take a pen and 'amend' the Second Amendment or restrict the sale of automatic assault weapons.
It would be a tragedy indeed if politicians ... family men and women, one and all ... were not to take meaningful action to prevent another mass loss of life by drastically changing America's gun laws.
You can't stop people from being born mentally impaired but you can stop people from using guns by getting rid of 'em. I bet my bottom dollar if a politicians child was slaughter by a crazied gunman something would change real quick.
ReplyDeleteIt took just one such nightmare to make Australians demand guns be removed from our society, now a few years on we have very few gun deaths. Sadly Americans seem used to these tragedies so it probable wont change anything.
