One Year Anniversary of Sandy Hook Shooting

One year ago, Adam Lanza killed his mother and took a Bushmaster XM-15 rifle to Sandy Hook and murdered 26 people including his own mother. I for one cannot even imagine what it may feel like to lose a child in that way. In fact I don't want to even try to level, because I don't know what that feels like. Christmas will never be the same for those families. The sad thing is though, is that many anti-gun politicians are attempting to use this as leverage for more stringent gun-legislation in Congress that will limit only law abiding gun owners. The President issued this video today: I will not doubt that the POTUS or the anti-gun caucus feels for these families, but I have no doubt that the pro-gun legislators feel the same way. That I think everyone can agree on. Maybe some really do legitimately believe that tougher gun control may work, but no matter what facts are presented or what logic is used, many politicians are using this as a platform to capitalize their agendas and progress their careers. "Never forget to take advantage of a good crisis". I do believe there is a problem with violence in this country. With so much freedom to take your life in any direction can sometimes be harmful. You can choose to be an acolholic, you can choose to not be a good father to your children, and you can choose to become a murderer. I am in no way saying we should take away our freedoms for the cost of safety. That is the price of freedom. Americans have fought for it, bled for it, and died for it. I hope the families of Newtown Connecticut find peace one day, and I know they are angry. Great sorrow can sometimes turn into anger, especially with the un-natural loss of a child. They have every right to be angry. What sickens me is that politicians use these tragedies to further a political campaign when these families should have their privacy respected, and not used as a prop in the fight to strengthen gun control. Political parties aside, I pray that the Newtown families are one day able to recover from their grief, but there will always be a child-sized hole in their life, and there's nothing that can bring their children back. God has a plan, we are not always sure what or why He does things in His plan, but it is His plan. We don't have to always like His plan, but either way it His plan. Moses and the Jews in Exodus certainly disagreed with God's plans numerous times. He punished them, especially Moses, but in the end he delivered His chosen people to the promised land of Israel. God Bless. -Andy
