Our lives go on when we are the ones watching from the comfort of our warm and cozy living rooms. But I know it could just as easily be me staring hollow-eyed into the lens some day. Blame the guns We feel compassion so that we can learn from the horrors that other people experience. It's impossible to look into the grief-stricken faces of those who knew Kayla and think that our country's gun laws are blameless. But the NRA has big money backing them, and those who support the NRA continue to see the right to own and carry a gun as one that is intrinsic to their notion of freedom.
People kill people.
If access to guns in our country became more difficult than a quick trip to Walmart, our streets would be safer. Innocents like Kayla might be spared. They have learned nothing. They are not representative of the people and yet they profess the desire to protect all of our rights as Americans. Mom Walk will be staged in Washington, DC and at other sites around the country on Mother's Day, May 14.
