It is the shame of us all. It is an epidemic that affects each and every one of us. It has become a mental illness.
We have failed to protect the children and innocent people from this scourge. It is not enough to blame others. As our children are torn to shreds, we have done nothing but talk and point fingers. Our message has been too weak to even defeat the guilty politicians at the polls.
As children are ripped to shreds, beyond recognition, by these weapons of destruction, we shrink the debate to whether or not it is a 2nd Amendment right. There is no "well-regulated militia". There are only sick people with guns. Guns are the only thing in the world that empowers them.
Once a society is willing to surrender the lives of their children to guns, or anything else, they have surrendered their right to a future. They are rotting from within.
Politicians that defend these weapons in the hands of anyone that wishes to have them, are not deserving of representing anyone, especially in the halls of Congress. They should be defeated and branded as murderers. They are a disgrace to our nation.
It is a shame that we have come to this point.
