Shame on us all

Sat., Dec. 4, 2021

Ho Hum, another school shooting. More kids dead. Thoughts and prayers don’t stop bullets in mid air.

Is this really the best we can do? A nation that can not protect their children is a failed nation. Saying that more guns is the solution to gun violence is like saying that more whiskey is the solution to drunk driving.

Shame on all of us.
