In my city of Portland, OR on Tuesday, December 11th a man armed with guns went into a shopping mall, busy with holiday shoppers, and shot at who ever he could. He killed 1 woman, a hospice nurse and mother, and 1 man, a husband a father of young children, before killing himself.
When I see the pictures of the victims I see people my age. I see people who were most likely shopping for something special to give their family for Christmas. And because of a sad, angry man who was able to get his hands on a gun, those people are no longer alive. Beyond depressing.
Today, I am overwhelmed with the news that I am hearing from Newtown, CT. A man entered an elementary school and started shooting. Dozens are dead. Children. CHILDREN!!! Because of an insane, angry man who got his hands on guns.
I AM SO SICK OF THIS!!!!
I will NEVER understand gun ownership.
For those that say, "Don't take away my gun rights! If I had been there I could have used my gun to stop the shooter!" The thing is, they never are there.
This is never going to end.
