What has become of our country?
In a country where so many are unconcerned with their neighbor’s health, they refuse to do something as simple as wear a mask.
A country so fixated with guns that it can’t even pass common-sense gun control even in the aftermath of children being senselessly murdered.
A country where people complain about raising taxes to help the millions who live in poverty, are homeless, have no health insurance, or face food scarify but are willing to pay $1,100 for the new iPhone.
It is time America looks in the mirror and asks itself, is this really who we are? If the answer is yes, then I weep for us because it is just a matter of time before our violence, greed, and lack of concern for our fellow man lead to our downfall.
Ezekiel 22:30 New King James Version
So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

Listen to the sound of gun fire killing innocent people over and over again.
Washington D.C
Are you listening?
How many more must die?
How many more children do we have to bury?
Stop and listen to the sound of gun fire senselessly killing innocent people over and over again.
We are tired.
We don’t want your prayers and condolences anymore.
We don’t want to see you accepting large donations from and on behalf of the NRA anymore.
We don’t want to see you pandering to the guns and god crowd anymore.
We want to see you grow a backbone and take action.
We want to see you enact real and meaningful gun control laws now.
Stop with the excuses and just listen and watch the sound of gun fire senselessly killing innocent people over and over again.
If you can’t do that. If you can’t even attempt to protect us, I suggest you shut up, sit down and move aside for someone who can!
Prayers and Condolences…Return to Sender
This letter is being returned to the sender due to the lack of genuine caring for my innocent children. Prayers and condolences will sadly not restore their vibrant life force among you. Instead, it appears to be a way for you to assuage your feelings of guilt for your failure to act in a proactive matter to prevent yet another mass shooting. Please do not question my intelligence with excuses such as it’s not guns; it’s a mental illness when this type of thing happens only in your country. Instead of prayers and condolences for those tragically lost to gun violence, maybe you should pray for help in finding the conviction within yourselves to draft a comprehensive gun law.
The killing of our innocent
There is a consequence for every decision, and humans frequently rely on flawed logic to justify illogical decisions.
There can be no debate that it is illogical for America to cling to the belief that the founding fathers believed ownership of guns should go unchecked in today’s society. With the advances in weaponry, not to mention the amendment’s obsolete real intent, is a well-regulated militia to serve as a check upon a standing army. Something no “militia” armed with guns, no matter how high powered, in today’s world, would be able to serve as a formidable foe against, say, an F-16 fighter jet.
The consequence of America’s decision not to take real action on the subject of gun control is the continued wave of mass shootings it endures. Something unique to America among developed countries in the world. No mass shooting is without its pain, but none is sadder than when the life of a young innocent is tragically taken from us far before their time. Politicians will tweet and stand in front of the cameras offering prayers and condolences. But that does little to ease the heartbreak of a parent who stands over the coffin of their child with tears in their eyes, wondering why.
Every decision has a consequence. Isn’t it time we decide to stop this madness and implement real gun control policies?
Prayers of condolences. The response from up high
Things that make you go hmmm
What if God answered our prayers out loud. Would it sound like this?
Whoa, whoa, another moment of silence, another prayer asking for condolences for lost ones coming in from the American Senate. I am angered that my innocent children continue to lose their lives, and you willfully choose not to use the intelligence I blessed you with to try and stop it. A child could see the obvious your country has more gun violence because your country has more guns. It’s not that difficult to figure out. So stop using me as an excuse not to take action and take action. Prayers of condolences will not bring back the life of my children who were lost. Serious action on your part will prevent another one from losing theirs.
Tell me again what well regulated militia did he belong to?
I wondered what well-regulated Militia the Las Vegas shooter belonged to with so many guns, but the news never reported it.
America, wake up!
The false interpretation of the 2nd amendment, the belief that our very freedom depends on our so called constitutional right to own a gun, is a straight out lie. What our freedom depends on is our ability to protect ourselves and our young from harm. The very founding fathers who wrote the constitution understood this, believing that the purpose of government was to protect life, liberty, and property from what they called the depravity of human nature and what can be more depraved than the actions of the Las Vegas shooter and the many who came before him. Research shows that America leads developed nations by a wide margin in gun-related deaths mainly because guns are much more accessible. Where guns are accessible, those who are deprived will obtain them.
We must act now and put a stop to this madness. We must get serious about gun control in this country. Poll after poll shows that most Americans support stronger gun control now; we must let Washington know that with our voices at the voting booths. We must counter the money of special interest determined to keep the status quo and roll back the few regulations we have now over the lives of the innocent, which is a lot of money to counter. In the 2014 midterm elections, the NRA’s own super PAC and 501c4 political organization can run its political campaign. Combined spent more than 27 million dollars. They upped the ante in 2016 betting on Donald Trump. Six Republican Senate candidates locked in a highly competitive race spending $50.2 million, or 96 percent of its total outside spending, into these races and lost only one.
We can choose to continue living like this, offering our condolences, praying for the families who lost loved ones, offering calls for unity while stating now is not the time for a political debate on guns, and then moving on with our lives until it happens all over again or we can choose to stop the madness and get serious about gun control.
