Another shooting

Another shooting.

Yesterday there was another school shooting. This time it was in Oregon. My heart is so broken for the family that lost their son for absolutely no reason.

I prefer to stay away from anything political on my blog (since I really don’t know enough to say anything about it), but I feel like something needs to change. Whether it’s gun control or a better system for anyone in need of care mental illness. Something needs to happen. I want my kid to be safe when I send her to school. I hate that these shootings are becoming the norm.

Please keep anyone that’s been hurt in any of these shootings in your thoughts, and let’s start a change. We need a change.

I think the change called for is an increased respect for human life. Guns definitely do a larger amount of damage than other non-ranged weapons, but so long as there's an acceptance of violence as a solution to a problem, lives will continue to be lost.
