THE LIST WILL GROW IF NOTHING IS DONE. SO…IT WILL GROW.
Your frustration mirrors mine. Our priorities and perspectives are way out of wack.
You know that in our lifetime so many safety features have been instituted to improve auto safety. Improvements in roads, and vehicles, as well as limits on who drives and how we drive.
Between 1985 and 2019, 26 children were strangled to death by drawstrings in hoodies. I can’t buy a new hoodie for a child with a drawstring. Why? Because it’s unsafe.
Good Lord in heaven! I pray that we get our heads out of our gun racks and just do what everyone knows is common sense. Guns don’t kill people? Okay. People with guns do. Duh!
When nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, happened at a national level after Sandy Hook, that told me that nothing would ever happen. Instead, more Trans kids are now going to get murdered because the GOP will hang this on anything except the easy access to guns that we have in this country.
Oh Carol, I think you and I were both triggered (absolutely no pun intended) by the same recent quotes from politicians, but your post is so powerful in its simplicity. I think a minority of powerful interests would sacrifice their beloved parents, children, or grandchildren in return for being able to buy even more guns. Cars can and do kill; do we buy cars for our 10 year olds and have them pose behind the wheel of their cars for the family Christmas photo? That entire mind set is beyond my comprehension.
We must start by electing no more politicians who take money from the NRA. We have to break the stranglehold this evil (and Russian-connected) organization has on our country.
The only way that will happen is with massive campaign finance reform. Because to win they need the money from lobbyists. Like the NRA, which is VERY generous.
Here you’ll find my blog, some of my essays, published writing, and my solo performances. There’s also a link to my Etsy shop for healing and grief tools offered through A Healing Spirit.
I love comments, so if something resonates with you in any way, don’t hesitate to leave a comment on my blog. Thank you for stopping by–oh, and why not subscribe so you don’t miss a single post?

Shaking my head and seething. Because it’s so inconsistent. And uncaring.
When your children no longer matter, your civilization is doomed.
My heart is forever broken.
It’s so hard for me to understand how politicians trade gun lobby donations for kids’ lives.
This really hit me hard. Our kids are too important!
I would like to think they are but politicians think otherwise.
When nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, happened at a national level after Sandy Hook, that told me that nothing would ever happen. Instead, more Trans kids are now going to get murdered because the GOP will hang this on anything except the easy access to guns that we have in this country.
That is my fear, too.

I feel you, Alana. Oh, do I.
I agree Alana … as if that’s what Christmas is all about: peace, love and guns??
So many of us are shaking our heads in frustration and agreement with your sarcasm…. sigh
