We watch in horror at the latest violence in Israel and Gaza, innocent people dying. Over 2600 combined, perished on both sides. Videos run continuously showing brutal deaths .
But, US statistics show in 2021 over 4700 children under the age of 18 died by guns .
AGAIN , 4700 Young Americans PERISHED , never to grow old or see their lives fulfilled. Massacres at Sandy Hook and in Uvalde left scenes of carnage so appalling victims were only identifiable thru DNA.. OUR RESPONSE ??? NOTHING!!!
Did we destroy or bomb the NRA or Gun Manufacturers, as Israel’s decimation response in Gaza will be full decimation. No, we continue to turn a blind eye to the NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH IN CHILDREN….GUN VIOLENCE!!!! All humans have the right to live in peace, but in US , the right to carry weapons of war anywhere, anyplace, anytime trumps the right to live for our next generations…..Really?
