Were the hypocritical Pro-Lifers hiding under a rock all day yesterday or is life to them up until a child is born? I heard no great cry about the deaths of so many small children at the hands of one man with many guns. Am I mistaken? are not all those Pro-Lifers in government because the NRA backs them and vice versa? 20 children, ages 6 and 7 died yesterday.
Do we have any idea why our country is so prone to these massacres? Statistically, we seem to stand alone in the world with this sort of crime. Granted I'd rather be a US citizen today than a Syrian, that doesn't mean I should be happy with everything that is wrong with our country right now.
Victim Ana Marquez-Greene was child of famed jazz musician, Jimmy Greene. We are just beginning to learn more about the life potential of some of these children. Anti-abortionists ask would there have been a Beethoven or a Mozart if there had been abortion? Do we know who these children may have become? We here incredible sadness but where is the anger? Without some anger at the availability of guns there will be no study and work on what can be done. The second amendment should stand. Taking guns away may not solve the problem but regulating the flow may make it harder for some to get guns. If people hold guns and do not report their loss, a crime being later committed with them, should make people start tracing responsibilities where they lie. The children and adult victims have all been identified now. They were all loved and believed to be safe, moving to this little community of closeness recently, some of them.
People will mourn and fear for their own young ones. Will the energy to do something positive to end this before the focus fades or will we just start it all over again when it happens anew?
