Turn on the news.......
Turning the news on these days bums me out. No, it is not the economy. It is the gun violence that gets me. I click the news on Saturday, every word was shooting or shot. The gun violence in America is ridiculous! A mass shooting at an old age home in North Carolina, the mass shooting in Binghamton, NY. A man shoots five of his kids then himself after finding his wife with another man. Man shots someone over fear of losing his ability to have a gun in America. The right to bear arms is a right, but the right to shoot others with them, is not. Sellers of ammo are running out. People buying it are up in arms, because they believe The President is going to change the gun laws. At this point there definitely needs to be a strict law enforced. I personally hate when someone tells me, my gun is for protection. BS!! Protection does not involve loss of multiple lives. It does not involve stray bullets or people being held hostage. The need for a gun to protect can not be explained to those that have lost a loved one in a gun related incident. If a gun is used to hunt, I'm not opposed. I do not like it, to each their own. Seems logical for a hunter of animals to have a gun. But the hunting of humans.......... The gun related deaths in this country make me sick.
