Two mass shootings in two days. There are no words to describe the anger I feel at the senseless loss of life all because our governmental representatives are so scared to do anything that would upset their donors. Families today must deal with the worst kind of grief because one group has so much power and influence that it can sway all three branches of the government. What I want today is for the NRA to disband in shame and publicly acknowledge and make retributions for their involvement in these latest shootings – and all shootings that happened since Columbine so many years ago. Since that will not happen in my lifetime, I urge you to take action instead. Reach out to your congressmen and women. Reach out to your senators. Bombard the White House with messages about your anger at the lack of sensible gun control.
Here are the links to just a few groups lobbying for gun control and an end to all this avoidable violence. Let’s stay loud and let DC know that we are tired of seeing our babies die needless deaths. This has gone on for too long.
- Moms Demand Action
- Students Demand Action
- Everytown for Gun Safety
- The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence
- Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence
- Giffords: Courage to Fight Gun Violence

I hate to say it but I am feeling like we can’t change this. I know this is absolutely what you do not want to hear because after all, your post is a call to action but I am so worn out. Politicians doing whatever the hell they want with no repercussions. People in high positions pushing hate, laughing at the common man, kicking people when they are down? It’s all so depressing.
Oh, I think we might have reached a tipping point. People are angry, and I’m hearing it from people who would never discuss this issue in the past. One of my conservative BILs is now for some gun control after this past weekend. I do think things will change. If we haven’t reached the tipping point, we are getting very, very close.
