NO MORE CHILDREN WILL BE SACRIFICED ON THE ALTAR OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT!
I don’t know how, but this grandfather has had enough. I’m going to start a campaign, movement, whatever it takes, and we’re going to go after the guns. Americans don’t need handguns and we don’t need assault weapons, and clearly the system we have today doesn’t work.
Twenty kindergarten children were murdered today; an entire classroom full of six and seven year olds. The shooter reportedly used two 9mm handguns, one made by Glock and the other by Sig Sauer, and an AR-15-type rifle also was found at the scene.
Spare me the whining about your Second Amendment rights, I don’t want to hear it, and I don’t think the twenty sets of parents, or the forty sets of grandparents care one whit about your right to own an AK-47, AR-15 or semi-automatic pistol; while you’re screaming about your precious gun rights, stop and think about the erased rights of those 20 children to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. Their blood and their futures are too high a price for your right to go “target shooting”, to “collect” weapons, or to prepare for whatever post apocalyptic future you’ve dreamed up in your foil encrusted head.
The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels tonight. They’re our children, grandchildren, students, teachers and our parents and our friends. The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels.
NO MORE CHILDREN WILL BE SACRIFICED ON THE ALTAR OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT!
Please sign my petition calling upon Congress and the President to outlaw weapons used in these mass murders. Not one more child.

BRAVO!
The right to bear arms assumes that our children have arms and that we in all diligence protect
their rights.

There will always be tools to hurt. But it’s the PERSON using those tools that needs to be removed from the equation
If its a hand gun, a knife, a hunting rifle, a bomb, poison. If someone wants to practice evil, they will find a way unfortunately. Take responsibility as a loving good human and start looking at one another, our families, our mentally ill and start holding people and their actions accountable. Everyone wants to hold blame on an inanimate object, a video game, etc.. Bring family back home and start engaging with our children again. Schools, government, video games, social media, MTV, are doing the majority of the parenting these days and they are failing miserably.
I don’t blame a gun, a knife or a weapon for this horrific atrocity. I blame the boy, and partly the family of that boy that committed this act.
