The repeated mass shootings in the U.S.A. have been hitting me emotionally deep and hard. I grew up in a country where fear for your life while going to the fun Country music concert in Las Vegas, or to school, a mall, church, the movies was not ever-present. The number of fellow human beings killed or badly hurt by guns weigh heavy on our collective minds. Still, excuses are made, shielded by the Second Amendment that has little in common with true patriotism. How many lives to lose are enough to move the needle? Not Fifty-Eight, and not 411 wounded, all within 10 minutes by one person.
