another day, another gun

What will it take to stop the violence at schools when students go crazy and decide to take out innocents along with themselves?  The gun nuts say it's a "mental health" problem.  No y'all.  It's a gun problem.  These shooters get their guns with a mission in mind.  Many of them are obtained illegally and under the radar.  Some of them have mental health problems but are able to get weapons anyway.  I have a seven year old granddaughter who has to do active shooter drills at her school.  Ever since Sandy Hook, I have been appalled at the lengths crazy people will go to kill themselves in the process of taking kids and teachers out. Today's shooter did just that.  

Mass shootings weren't a thing when I was a kid.  People had guns but used them in a responsible way to hunt game to defend themselves.  Fast forward to these days where everybody has access to one ( often from parents) and don't get help with their emotional problems because therapy is bad or some such bullshit.I have no answers because the majority of this country LOVES guns and their 2nd amendment rights.  And Jesus wept.

Y'all have a Merry Christmas and whatnot.  It really pains me to hear about kids "not having Christmas" meaning no gifts.  There will be no gifts for my family this year but we will celebrate the birth of baby Jesus anyway.  After all, it's about the manger and the gift of Christ not sweaters and shirts that will never be worn,  Keep the faith ^j^
