Guns?

While watching information regarding the latest American Gun Massacre I am left with this thought.......WHY? Not why did it happen, but why do we still allow guns with the ability to fire so many rounds readily available to the general public? I am not saying that people don't have the right to BEAR ARMS but does the average joe need a gun that fires 30+ rounds? I have heard the arguments (especially living where I do) about our rights and hunting, etc. But, and I say this seriously, if you need an automatic weapon to hunt........perhaps hunting is not your thing and you should just run down to the Piggly Wiggly and pick up some meat! As with the many "rights" we have also comes, and here is a big word for some of you, RESPONSIBILITY. The responsibility to protect our children, the responsibility to treat each other with respect, the responsibility to keep guns out of our children's school and out of their hands.

We sit and watch the world going to "hell in a handbasket" and then say "well, that is not my fault".

I believe that it is our fault. It is our fault for not stepping up and saying that we don't need guns like that. It is our fault that lobbyists are still able to run this country and effect the decisions that are being made in Washington. It is our fault that we allow the people elected to represent us have public meetings where there is a call to arms......"if votes won't work perhaps guns will". It is our fault that people that are elected by us and paid by us to do a job are allowed to widen the distance between the races.

So, the bottom line is this, if you do not wake up and take a stand the next shooting might take the life of someone you love. One of my favorite sayings is this........"all evil needs to flourish is for good men to do nothing".

Hope you have a blessed day and a better tomorrow.
