Empathy is lacking in so many people. God knows that when my family moved to our home in OKC during the 1970s, we could not have imagined that after 20 years there drive by shootings would be a thing. It is a damn shame that this country has become seemingly desensitized by these tragedies.
I appreciate your response. I pray that the surviving children and families have/receive adequate mental health resources; I would not have been able to cope with losing my brother without having access to therapy.
You seem to just be a jerk attempting, and failing, to mock me. About bears in 18th century New York? 🤷🏻♀️ What a weird thing to do. Also my family‘s been in North America for over 300 years. We don’t all live in upstate New York anymore.
Also super glad you’re concerned about whether or not I know the 18th century was different from now.🙄
I am sure so many of us are being triggered by the slaughters in Uvalde and Buffalo. I certainly have been...I am seeing my baby brother's shattered skull in the ICU again in my dreams from a bullet fired to his forehead in front of our OKC childhood home in June 1990. He was 20 years old and the youngest of 10 siblings. I am home sick today after my diabetes flared at work yesterday. I know from personal experience that the families losing loved ones to gun violence are scarred for life...memories may fade, but the pain is forever.
Switzerland has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the world. Citizens are allowed to own semi automatic and even automatic weapons, yet there are less than 50 gun homicides per year. Additionally, gun laws are not extremely restrictive So why can they manage this and we can't? Are we that much more crazy or that much more stupid, that we tolerate a gun homicide rate per capita that is nearly 1.000 times as high?
Bingo. I had an ancestor who fought in the revolutionary war. Actually his father and uncle had both been in the British army in New York State before that! But the point is he was in the state militia. And he was a teenager. The war came to their neck of the woods and one of the things the brand new US government did was was set up state militias of volunteers. I can’t remember if I know or suspect that they use their own rifles that they had for hunting. And I guess keeping away bears? Did the Mohawk Valley in New York State have bears in the 18th century? 🤷🏻♀️ Probably.
Been seeing that clip of him saying the second amendment as applying to individuals is a fraud a lot lately and, good. Also heard somebody say in 1982 some Republican Congress critters or Scotus justices I forget which claimed to have found some document that proved second amendment was about individual yahoos. Wouldn’t mind reading more about that.

Hug received. Thanks so much, and may God bless you!

"...to weak..."? Really?
Says she doesn't believe there is a DC solution. So WTF is her job, anyhow?
I know. Bizarre "justification" for not doing shit. "Let's see if we can find a really, really difficult way out"? I mean... Jeebus Kryst.
What does it mean "to weak a description"? Shouldn't that be "to weaken"? And what would that mean? I'm corn-fused.
"too weak", I think.

I’m so sorry. I’ve been thinking about that pain forever. All the kids who witnessed it but survived. Holy shit.
