I had planned to spend some time today Dec 14, 2012 and do an update for this blog - but as you all must know the tragic events that unfolded in New Town Conn. has put a damper on that.
I was heading to the grocery store for my weekly buy when I heard on the car radio about this needless slaughter of innocent little kids.
Living in Canada most Canadians have a very different view of guns, gun control etc and like our American cousins are shocked by the chain of events that took place today.
I won't spend a lot of time and web space outlining my thoughts on the whole issue of gun ownership - there is a time and place for that discussion but I will leave you with this thought:
If the founding fathers and the congress that approved the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution were alive today they would likely be aghast at what occurred. Wasn't the original intent of the amendment to allow the citizens to arm themselves as a sort of citizen militia in case the British came a calling again.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this needless slaughter. I also find it appalling that some people are criticizing the POTUS for shedding a tear as he tried to find words to express his outrage.
Amen!
