| El Paso, Texas |
This is Sunday. Let us pray for the victims of El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio.
For the life of me, I don't understand the world today. So many mass shootings, so much hate...why do people resort to gun violence to solve their problems? What has happened to our society that causes such anger and rage in a person? What was the trigger for this outrage?
It's already been noted how easy it is for an angry person to obtain access to guns. The argument for gun control raises its head every time a shooter is identified as being mentally disturbed or belonging to radical political groups. It also gets quickly tabled under Second Amendment politics.
When will it be considered unsafe for people to go to the movies, a ball game, or enter a grocery store unless we resort to carrying a loaded gun for protection? Are we going to start "packing" our children as we send them off to school? This sounds crazy doesn't it?
I don't have an answer to any of these questions, do you?
Scary times to be living in....
Current Mood: 😨
