Yet another atrocity in a school in the USA and many more children who have had their lives taken away so very early. What will it take before the gun law changes or will that never happen? As a part of the so-called ‘civilised’ western world I feel so angry and upset about mass murder. I suspect it won’t be long before the press and politicians blame the films the murderer watched or the books he read or the games he played or the music he listened to? What about asking how he got the damned guns?
I have nothing else to add other than the numbness I feel so here is the song that is going through my head right now. I know it may not be lyrically appropriate but the chorus hook line are what are getting me through. My thoughts go out to all the family and friends of all those adults and children so cruelly cut down in their prime.
With Just A Hint Of Mayhem 
The gun culture here is so entrenched, the gun lobbyists so influential…
Half of the population completely freaks out whenever even the idea that, as a country, perhaps we need to have a long overdue, honest discussion about guns is raised…
Sadly, this is going to occur again and again and again in this country ad infinitum. The reaction will be the same. The same questions will be asked. And then, we’ll get distracted by the next big news story.
In the US, you can be killed pretty much anywhere and at anytime because there are guns everywhere.
