We pray for peace that isn’t just the absence of gunfire but the presence of dignity and for justice that doesn’t wait for the next election cycle.

This Is America
It’s not drag queens, books or anything else like that are endangering kids. The number one cause of the death of children is guns. Some so-called leaders won’t do something about it because it’s not politically good for them. Those politicians need to be replaced. Something should have been done a very long time ago.
Thought Of The Day 07142024
What happened in Pennsylvania to former president Trump is unfortunate. Gun violence is a vile illness in this country and it cannot be ignored. That being said, for too long we have given guns a pass. Even Trump said people should get over it.
Gun ownership is a right in the USA but with rights come responsibilities and restrictions. People who have been the victims of gun violence deserve better.
I am not going to give Trump or Republicans a break. Too many children have lost their lives to guns. Too many women have been the victims of firearms that shouldn’t have been in the hands of the perpetrators. Something should be done but it won’t because of the sick dependence on the influence and money from the NRA and other organizations.
Gun violence is a moral issue that should have been addressed a very long time ago. Maybe now it will be looked at however I am not holding my breath.
Another Shooting – Nashville
There has been another mass shooting in America. This time it was in Nashville, Tennessee at a Christian school. Three students and three adults were killed. I talked about rest yesterday but this is something where no one can rest until something is done. There are many solutions, pick one. It’s better than doing nothing and having people still die. We should all be sick of this. How many lives must perish before something is done? Unfortunately, Tennessee’s governor is fighting culture wars that no one asked to be fought.
A Ramble About Guns
The 2nd Amendment in the US Constitution (the one about gun ownership) was not set up for the modern arsenal we have today. More, powerful guns are a problem not answer. Too many people are dying because weapons of mass destruction are becoming easier to get it seems. Why make something that is guaranteed to kill on a large scale?
America Reacts…A Good Way And Another Way #ihateguns
This political cartoon courtesy of The Chattanooga Times Free Press is from a few years ago when a mass shooting happened at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. There is so much truth in this for many in America. I hate guns, I really do.
