My heart is broken, as are many peoples' around the world. I read in the news there were 2 more shootings the day or 2 days after. Also a young child strapping himself into a booster seat shot (killed?) by a pistol his father had just purchased and left on the back seat.
Over here, it only took 2 x gun massacres to change our laws forever, and I don't think there'd be a soul outside of USA who would disagree that it's about time USA woke up to itself and followed suit. I'm sorry if that sounds narrow minded, but we just can't imagine what it must be like to live in a society where there seems to be more guns than people.
Was reading a story the other day of a poor watchmaker who shot & killed 5 robbers during several separate robberies and how he got shot up himself a couple of times, it's just beyond comprehension.
How did a civilised, western nation fall into such a state of emotional disrepair and moral bankruptcy?
