This week’s blogs are going to be different from my normal blogs. The reason for that is because I’m not in my normal happy chipper mood. That is because of the mass shootings that have happened in America over the past week. My heart is broken, I’m sad, my anxiety is through the roof and simply put, I am a mess!
It’s hard to stay in a happy an upbeat mood when you look around and see what’s going on in America. When you see innocent people being killed at places where we go on a daily basis. I’m a person that doesn’t scare easily but I was afraid to go out this week. Which is insane because we shouldn’t be afraid to live. We shouldn’t be afraid to go shopping at Walmart. We shouldn’t be afraid or worry when we go to a night club to have fun and take a load off.
Mass shootings are a problem in America. There’s been 257 mass shootings since the beginning of the year. Gun control is a problem in America. Home grown white terrorism is a problem. These issues need to be addressed. People are dying everyday because of this. We need to talk about it and we need to talk about it now.
For you that say gun control won’t work, I say to you, just because you think something won’t work doesn’t mean you don’t try! Have you ever thought something was a long shot but you went for it anyway? Have you ever thought a girl would turn you down but you asked her out anyway? Had a plan you were unsure of but tried it anyway? We have to do gun control the same way.
No one is trying to take your guns away but why does anyone need to own 30 guns, assault rifles, AR-15, semiautomatic rifles? I’ll wait for a good answer………
My heart can’t take much more of these evil attacks on innocent people. Hate should have no place in America. Fear should have no place in America. I have family and friends that I want to live for a long time. I mean even people I’ve never met I want to be to out and be safe and not have to fear being gunned down.
Let’s work together to make America safer. Thanks for reading my blog. Let me know your thoughts. Have a wonderful blessed day and always be kind.
