Thank you for sharing this. Very interesting and insightful. My husband and I have become so concerned about this that we have been seriously contemplating the purchase of a few handguns and a gun safe. I absolutely hate the idea of having guns in my house with 3 children but I’m also terrified with the idea that these extremists are just armed to the teeth. There’s so much inflammatory rhetoric being thrown about that I’m becoming afraid of not being armed.
I hear you Beverly! While I'm in the middle of the gun debate of the nation, I'm not stupid either. These people and those with mental issues having the ability to get guns scare me. The numbers Abby went through were merely most recent events. And we have a couple of decades worth of even more major incidents that weren't in those numbers and haven't been addressed. As long as our politicians refuse to address this problem I feel I must exercise my right to protect myself. A few years ago Mary and I went out and took a CCW course to do so. Today you just never know when you're going to end up at that place that's going to be the next mass shooting news flash. I'm not letting anyone take my love without a fight. Please educate yourselves, that includes the children, if you decide to move forward! And always be alert and aware of your surroundings. We really need to retrain our minds when we go out into public today.
