Why don't our stats make your politicians think again? After this shocking event - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunblane_school_massacre - legislation was passed to severely restrict gun controlHelen Lashbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806155400041511316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-12438383565359449002016-06-14T08:44:01.162-04:002016-06-14T08:44:01.162-04:00Would the haters rather have two men love each oth...Would the haters rather have two men love each other or two men shoot at each other with automatic weapons?

ENOUGH! <br />It is not ENOUGH to PREACH "LOVE"<br />If religious leaders and other people of faith who have not yet realized that their teachings are dangerous and hurtful, then <br />THEY ARE JUST AS RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE TRAGIC DEATHS as the gunman. AND THE NRA and all the Republican legislators who they've bought.<br />BLOOD IS ON THEIR HANDS AS WELL.<br />Watching news coverage almost non-stop, I am just so outraged that this could happen, especially in view of all of the bullshit that we've been going through since we got marriage equality. And yes the availability of guns is a big issue, but people must realize that people shooting a gun, nay an assault weapon, generally have a target and the belief that LGBT people are evil makes us an easy, convenient and expendable target. I am outraged and angry. I know I will probably cry a river when the reality hits over the next week, with funerals and outpouring of grief. But right now, ENOUGH!Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058312079036935995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-68542702722864265342016-06-12T18:05:51.235-04:002016-06-12T18:05:51.235-04:00I'm joining the club of tired people too. This...I'm joining the club of tired people too. This is getting way out of hand. I said to someone earlier on their blog, until it starts happening to the loved ones and children of all the idiots who are politicians, both sides, we're getting no where. Why do they not see we have extremely major issues?????? It will be a different story when it hits close to home for these folks. If we cant and haven't learned from history and the past yet, we haven't learned a damn thing. And I have no hope for us as humans. We may as well keep our flag flying at half staff from now on. ������Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-48289631068853794772016-06-12T17:35:36.758-04:002016-06-12T17:35:36.758-04:00{{Bob and Carlos}} wish I could teleport in and gi...{{Bob and Carlos}} wish I could teleport in and give you hugs and kisses. <br />xoxoxoxoxo <br />the dogs' motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512888563325865616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-33814836111178925362016-06-12T17:26:07.129-04:002016-06-12T17:26:07.129-04:00I can't help but think that the national incre...I can't help but think that the national increase in hatred being espoused by so many groups is encouraging those gun-crazed killers. They exist by the millions, barely keeping their murderous impulses at bay. When they have the guns and the ever-burgeoning desire to kill, it doesn't take much to push them over the edge. The political climate in Florida must certainly qualify as being an instigator!Ms Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417670251423549014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-13374227979879466962016-06-12T17:11:44.264-04:002016-06-12T17:11:44.264-04:00I'm so tired, too.
