We Are Better Than This

Since my last gun-related post on January 14th, there have been five incidents of gun violence in our nation's schools.  That's five in eight days.  Just yesterday, one teacher's assistant at Purdue University shot and killed a fellow T.A.  Since the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre, there have been 35 gun violence incidents in American schools.

That's just in schools.  It does not include gunplay in theaters, restaurants, shopping malls, or military bases, just to name a few of the other popular places where murderous lunatic SOB's too often exercise their 2nd Amendment rights.

We are sick, and this must stop.  We are better than this.  We must put our rights, our safety, our interests ahead of the interests of the gun lobby.
