The three sisters were curled around each other at the Davids' apartment. The nightly news had just concluded, and today's top story was another mass shooting. The reality mass shootings had become an everyday occurrence was unbearable. It disgusted all three sisters when politicians would post videos on their Twitter accounts waving handguns everywhere after mass shootings.
Did these people have no shame? How could they not understand this was grossly disrespectful to individuals who lost loved ones, who had lost children because they refused to crack down on gun regulations? Their mother/stepmom, Elisa, had become downright revolted. Bad enough, countless officers used deadly force and killed individuals without justifiable reason.
But to witness people like their governor declare, "I support the Second Amendment?!" The second amendment was the right to bear arms. However, it is meant to protect yourself from enemies when at war. It didn't mean making AK47 available to anyone over 18! It didn't mean not doing meticulous background checking, or individuals should be found mentally qualified to possess a firearm!
Elisa remained responsible with her gun. She kept it sealed in a double-locked steel container; one lock was a key lock, and the other was a combination. Plus, she kept it concealed away from her daughters. She'd witnessed many cases in her profession where people were reckless with guns, and innocents paid the price.
So what made tonight's news story most despicable? The same governor who ridiculed the school shooting in Texas had now just lost their own child to a mass shooting at their school. Consequently, cruel irony and karma had paid the gentleman back big time.
It wasn't something anyone desired. However, if life wanted to teach those who ignore it or others mourning a lesson? What could be worse then this? Are you claiming you support the second amendment?
That you wave a pistol around on your Twitter page after a shooting expressing you still endorse firearms? Right after children have perished? What worse punishment could the universe hand you than taking your child away in the same manner?
Perhaps you'd think twice before claiming you advocate something that had been twisted so far out of its original context. But unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there be any alleviation from gun violence anytime soon. But again, how many more individuals had to perish before doing something? Must these idiots lose more of their loved ones to gun violence?
When would they wise up? Quit supporting guns and do the right thing! They should stop worrying about who was lining their pockets! Instead, focus on the actual individuals who've DIED! God help us all!
