RIP Joselli Barnica and Nevaeh Crain

That is just grim. How the families must feel is beyond knowing. There are some very sick people in power out there. There are also a number of people who would be very happy to see the same legislation in place here.

Yet many of those pro-life fundamentalists are happy to allow lax firearms legislation, so that it's OK to carry firearms and shoot and kill people.

I think it was in 2011 that the number of US citizens killed by domestic gun ownership exceeded 1 million plus and more than the number of American combatants in all their conflicts starting from the American war of independence :/

And it just goes on and on,
