I shall not be moved................

The United States Government and some citizens seem to stand by the above statement. They indeed will not be moved by the many tragedies that have occurred there due to the reckless use of fire arms. (especially guns). Just last week, 17 people (most of them high school students) were killed by a former student of a high school in florida.


A priest in my local church once said we are becoming contemptuous of situations and people. Our hearts have indeed grown cold as the bible says and they are in desperate need of thawing. I keep thinking to myself, how many more must die senselessly? How many young innocent lives have already been lost? How many families are heartbroken and torn part? When will it be enough?

Sadly, we cannot bring back the lives lost. We can only hopefully learn from this! We cannot make sense of the loss but we can do our best to prevent future situations like this! The government and the citizens need to make a change. The right to protect yourself should not come at such a cost, the price already paid is too high. A life cannot be quantified and this selfish reason for making fire arms readily available to whoever is insane!

Our prayers and hearts go out to the families of the victims of this tragedy. May God keep you strong in this time and heal your broken hearts. Amen.

PS: Human beings are fragile and in a momentary lapse of emotions can do terrible things! ( A very good reason not to have fire arms easily accessible to anyone)
