I’m of the opinion that no single issue shows the indifference of our politicians to all Americans like gun control.  They not only prefer the money from the National Rifle Association to our safety but they have essentially allowed our children to be hunted in their schools.  They stand and watch as American youth die, and they have done everything but issue hunting licenses to the killers.

I think our shame comes in waves.  The periods of time in which our shameful behavior will make future generations think we had no souls.  From slavery, to the movement west, to the internment camps, to our current powerlessness against the NRA.  We have periods in our history where we simply chose not to value life.  At the moment our leaders prioritize power and position over the lives of children, and worse than that we don’t stop them.  We are hip deep in a seriously embarrassing time for this country.
