On average, 87 people die every day from gun violence in the United States. 7 days a week. 365 days a year. Sorrow and rage are not new emotions to many of us. My parents were at J.C. Penney's in the Clackamas shopping district within an hour of the shootings here in Oregon. They were lucky. Every moment a family grieves somewhere for a loved one lost to a senseless tragedy. Give your kids a hug. Tell them how much you love them. Remember the 87 more that will die today and tomorrow and the next day too. Be good to one another and never take life for granted.
But a gun by itself never hurt of killed a single soul, it takes a sick, deranged or careless person to make that happen. Killing people can be accomplished with a drum of fertilizer, box cutter and an airplane or by countless other means. It takes a very sick mind to achieve murder by ANY means.
I have a very tough time just thinking about this one........my granddaughters pop into my mind everytime I do.
