Gun Violence

Another Shooting

There has been another senseless shooting and now

we are forced to accept another tragedy. How long

must this continue? How many more lives must be

lost? What has to happen before we, finally, assume

the responsibility for these shootings and we do --

what must be done -- to stop them? When will we

adopt some meaningful Gun Control measures to

curb the violence? When will we say that we have

had enough? When...

The Shooter

We have lost control of our Society.

We have no sense of right and wrong, no religion, and

no family values to restrain the individuals actions.

Instead, we have video War games, the internet and

"action" movies to set the standards for acceptable

behavior. The wild shootings that have occurred thru

out our land have come as the result of a Lack of

Morality, and also because of the easy access to Fire-

arms. So long as we have no moral precepts to guide

us, so long as the individual is not held to be responsible

for their actions, so long as Religion and the Family are

demeaned and treated with indifference, and so long as

there is an easy access to Firearms; then we can expect

such violent outbursts to continue. When such tragedies

happen we should not wonder about the identity of the

shooter nor the motivation for their actions -- the seeds

for these incidents have been planted, long ago, within

us all. Violence is the Harvest we now reap. Who is to

blame for the shootings? It is our whole society that is

at fault, our whole society pulled the trigger.

Failed Leadership

It is discouraging when the government can not protect

us from our Enemies (both foreign and domestic), when

the individual Citizen must take up arms to defend him-

self, his family, his home, and his business. What is the

point of having a government when it can not maintain

Law and Order? When crime runs wild in the streets and

terror stalks our schools?

And what about us, the people who have to live with all

of this turmoil -- when will be able to enjoy some Security

in our lives?

Aren't any of our so called leaders -- able to lead? Where

is their resolve? Where are their proposals? What has to

happen, how many more innocent people must die, before

our Leaders establish a greater control over the Ownership

and Use of Firearms? When will the Politicians do what they

were elected to do? When will they bring Peace to our

Country?
