Our world came to a stop today as we listened for more than 12 hours to the tragedy in Newtown, CT. As important as this was, it was as though there was no other news in the world. A twenty year old shooter massacred 20 children, ages five and a few ten years old. Seven adults were also shot and killed. President Obama swore to have something done though it is difficult to understand how the NRA can be fought.
The BBC wrote an excellent story, quot8ing President Obama. Click here.
Look carefully, there is terror that will not leave those young faces for many years. It is impossible to
totally control guns when people can buy illegally over the Internet and use other means to obtain them. However, other countries are not having the problem as the IS has it. There has to be some way we can emulate some of the safer countries. The NRA needs to cooperate. A starting place could be to force background checks before all purchases. The shooter had his brother;s I.D. It was said the mother was the registered owner of the guns used. I would be willing to wager that he had forged her signature and I.D. to obtain the guns.
My sociology professor used to say, "Comes the revolution, you will be at the top of my list." My list is growing quickly. It had the Koch brothers, added Grover Norquist, A.L.E.C. members, and now the NRA, Governors Walker and Snyder....oh dear, the list is getting quite long and I have scarcely gotten started.!
