My heart shattered to pieces when I heard about the Sandy Hook Elementary School killing. The first thought came to my mind after listening about this tragic incident is rethinking about what is written in the Second Amendment. I mean this law was made years ago when things were not as crazy and serious but times have changed and sometimes we have to follow along with the world rather than to look back. Really? What is more important: LIVES OR LAWS? It is so hard to believe that Congress isn't even thinking about banning weapons after losing the lives of twenty innocent children and six responsible adults. Someone said it right: "No one cares unless they are affected by it." My heart cries whenever I hear about these kids and their teachers. Why? Why out of all the people in this world did that murderer choose little innocent kids out of all the people in the world? What did they do to ruin his life that he treated them this way? What was his weakness? Why did he do this? We can always feel bad for tragedies like this, we always can lend support to those who are victims of such actions and we can always say how sorry we are but only the families of those kids and teachers can feel the real pain. They have lost the most important parts of their lives that maybe no one can replace. All I can say is God bless and rest in peace and may no one ever have to suffer like this ever again.
Just like I mentioned in the first paragraph, Congress need to take action! My biggest takeaway was when I read that the Democrats have failed in requesting Congress to pass a bill that bans the use of weapons because there is a law that prohibits to ban weapons such as the ones used by the criminal in the murder of Sandy Hook Elementary School kids and teachers. This is really sad. People have lost their HUMANITY! How much more explanation do they need then the lives of innocent little children.
Like Mr. Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor of New York, said in the article that The Party in Power so basically the Democrats will be blamed for this tragic incident. Meaning they will be held accountable for this incident if they don't take any action and he is right when he says that "His job is to perform and protect the American public." I completely agree with Mr. Bloomberg because people (citizens) will only blame President Obama for sitting still in such hard times. Can our divided government work together to make sure that incidents like this don't ever happen again? It is going to be hard because our government is so Polarized, Republicans begin so traditional and following not wanting to change the Amendment and Democrats being more liberal and want to make change to help the people of our nation.
What does this situation say about the Republican party? Will our world ever go far with such differences? How many more innocent lives will it take for the government to ban the use of weapons?
