Terrible scourge

-

Once again, it’s the usual empty words “our thoughts and prayers.” It is time for us the American people to say no. Enough. No more shootings and no more innocent people children dead at the hands of a troubled soul. Many people have had unhappy childhood trauma. They do not go buy a semiautoma­tic weapon and kill random strangers destroying those lives, the lives of their families, friends, co-workers and classmates. How many more shootings will it take for our leaders to take action? This is madness. It is destroying the feeling of safety most of us used to feel in our communitie­s. No more “it can’t happen here.” It has. We must all fight this terrible scourge so it does not destroy our nation and everything we value.
