(3,748 posts)good for you.... what you're doing. I lost a dear friend of mine in what... the very first? mass murder in Austin. He'd been 1st Trumpet to my 2nd Trumpet. He was 2 years older than I was and someone I adored. Looked up to him like a big brother all thru junior and senior high.
Charles Whitman took him away from me forever... and I've **never** gotten over it. I'm 67 years old now.
We have to do something to get these guns off the streets and out of the hands of these madmen. I'm for trying anything. Posting the pics, gun buybacks, what you're doing.
What I really wish is that *every* city in the U.S. could have a group organize itself and coordinate to have a single march against murder day (or whatever we want to call it). The more people in the march, the more impact it might have. But it would have to be in an overwhelming number of cities throughout the country. Not just something that happened here and there in little pockets.
If we came out in masses too big to ignore... maybe they'd stop ignoring us.
