Folks all over the web are talking about the shooting in Connecticut as we speak. Yet everyone is saying let's just pray for the children, let's not spout off on our beliefs. Well, dammit, I'm tired of praying, tired of not doing a dammed thing about it.
We
MUST stop living in denial. We MUST do what is right by our children.
No one wants to hear the truth, but some sicko, busted into a school and
murdered a bunch of KIDS- a "Gun Free Zone" where no-one, faculty an
even security if there is any, are allowed to carry in the unlikely
event of such an attack! As has been said before- We perform fire
drills, install extensive fire sprinkler systems, extinguishers, tornado
drill, storm shelters, maybe even bomb shelters! But we do not plan for
an active shooter rampage situation, We trust these folks with our
children's minds, bodies and well being everyday, yet we will not give
them the option of protecting our children against one of the greatest
threats of today!
A
bill was introduced last session to simply allow individual school
systems here in Nebraska to allow legal and well trained permit holders
to Conceal Carry firearms for the defense of the students, our CHILDREN
for God's sake! And what did we do? We tossed the idea like a bad egg,
Denying the problem, Denying our children the protection they deserve.
When are we going to WAKE -UP and at least sit down and take serious
action. Or would we rather just wit at our computer or TV and cry over
the innocence lost and PRAY it doesn't happen to us, to our kids?
