This has to stop - and NOW.
Mortified and in tears, I watched the news last night and saw the 45th mass murder that has taken place this year in America.
Gun control in this country is desperately needed, and immediately.
I was blessed to have a father who taught me how to safely use a shotgun at age 13, and the delight of my young life was being allowed to go hunting with he and his buddies, which I did until my mid twenties, when he took me to his gun club.
We went into the field with his labrador retriever. The dog scouted out a pheasant hiding under a bush. My dad kicked at it, so we could shoot it in flight. It wouldn’t move. It was too terrified. At that point I put my gun down and never picked it up again.
Very few people murdered one another in cold blood in those days, except criminals.
Now we have children killing each other because they have access to guns.
Parents are responsible for their children’s actions.
Thank heavens the courts are beginning to hold them both accountable.
Please stay safe out there.
