Hi Mary, I can not find the slide show. These mass shootings are a tragedy, I can not imagine how the parents are feeling. Are any of our country's schools safe? Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteI am afraid it will only end when those of us who oppose certain types of guns get more vocal about it. I know I need to do more about it if I want to see change.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking in this week ... all of us birders at I'd Rather B Birdin' appreciates your participation!
ReplyDeleteThoughts and prayers are needed of course and I applaud your daughter for helping those in need during this terrible recent slaying.Gun control is what is needed to put a stop to all these unlawful killings, I don't wish to sound hard and unsympathetic but the answer is in the hands of the American people. The students protesting in Florida will show the way.
ReplyDeleteI read this poem just a few days ago
“America Is A Gun"
England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.
Brazil is football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona's hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.
Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.
Japan is a thermal spring.
Scotland is a highland fling.
Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun.”
Brian Bilston.
Hello Mary. Yes, two shootings in as many weeks is tragic. Even more so when you are aquainted with the victims' families. It's not for us in Britain to point fingers when we do not understand the finer detals but from reading the Internet news it does seem that
ReplyDelete1)none of your politicians are able to get past the gun lobby
2)some of the available guns are far too powerful and destructive to be on general sale
3) there needs to be more comprehensive and deatiled checks of those buying guns
Stay safe. And campaign!
This news was reported in Japan too. It is hard to imagine of the tragic crime scene
ReplyDeleteand how sad the parents are.
Have a good new week.
My heart aches for those students who experienced such horror, and for the aching loss to family and friends. It's so sad that the politicians who could do something about gun control are unwilling to act. I don't think your forefathers, who enshrined gun ownership in your constitution, would ever have imagined such an outcome.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter's actions are so loving - may God bless her, and others through her.
Thanking you for the very kind comments and for the over 95 people who have viewed this single post share. It has been a very difficult time in this land that we call home and I don't know what answers the current leader will come up with, but it seems he has his own agenda and he will push it through no matter what. The American people, the American Veterans do not want a huge military parade and they made their voice known. Guess what it will happen on Veteran's Day...no words~
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary for this post. I am unable to express my thoughts as perfectly as you do and thus say nothing. Thank you for your words. And thank you to your daughter.
