Newtown, CT tragedy

My heart is broken. My heart is broken for 20 babies whose last breaths of life were spent in agonizing terror at the other end of a firearm. My heart is broken for the six teachers who spent their careers working to educate these children. My heart is broken for the parents and families of the many killed today. I cannot bring my mind or my heart to imagine what they are going through in these hours, or what they will continue to go through for all the hours they have left on this Earth.

Just as my heart is once again broken...my resolve is more than ever strong. Please join with me. Please join with me in telling our leaders that they may not be bullied by the most powerful lobbying group in America any longer...not for one more day. I'm sick of being told it is not appropriate in the aftermath of a tragedy to bring up gun laws. I'm sick of being made to feel guilty for even thinking of such a thing. But, most of all, I'm sick and tired of sitting and watching while beautiful, innocent human beings are allowed to be massacred so that rednecks who like to shoot animals in the woods for sport can feel "unencumbered."

Stop saying "guns don't kill people, people kill people"... No one has ever killed 27 human beings with a knife.
