Another heart breaking news filled day.

I wonder how many days can this country endure with the shooting of innocent people? We live in a country were you can carry guns and weapons, but can't express your views on civil rights. We live in a country where we have a president who can say & do anything, but is able to get away with it, no matter who he hurts or who he insults. We live in a country where we our government rule from their billfolds and not their conscious. We live in a country where big money business control our way of living. And then to top it all off, the NRA holds our constitution hostage, by pushing laws that are deadly and dangerous to most people. When will those who back the NRA and other entities get a backbone and stand up to them and say "enough is enough"? Our country is in a downward spiral and I don't see it will change anytime soon.
