How do you measure a year? For parents, it’s often in milestones in our children’s lives: the first day of school, birthday celebrations, a first lost tooth. But for too many parents in this country, a year is measured in the days since they lost their children to gun violence.
Dec. 14, 2012, was the last straw for many American mothers when 20 first-graders and six educators were gunned down in their classrooms at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. That was followed by the heartbreaking shooting death of Hadiya Pendleton in Chicago a month later. Since then, the continued drumbeat of senseless shootings has helped focus the public’s attention on the epidemic of American gun violence.

Blah blah blah. I guess its good to see how the other side thinks to remind us of the mindlessness that we are up against. With that said Im truely sorry when any child dies due to gun violence, auto accidents, drowning, sports injuries, animal attacks, cancer or illness and so on. When a firearm is involved in the loss of a childs life, many jump on the bandwagon blaming the gun. But I rareley hear anyone who loses a child to a vehicle accident or a drunk driver, nobody ever blames ford,dodge or chevy or budweiser or jackdaniels and asks that these things be removed from public ownership. I know Im preaching to the choir but it sure seems that people who are of a liberal mindset sure seem to want to inflict a double standard lifestyle on anybody who doesnt agree with them.
