Some of you may have listened to self-serving gun lobbyists screaming ~ talking over each other ~ last night on "Piers Morgan Tonight" about the American "right-to-bear-arms."  Their rhetoric is sickening.  Essentially what they are saying is, "Arm everybody and we will all be safer."

The lack of conversation in the past on the tragic shootings occurring on a regular basis in the U.S. has motivated the British-born journalist and talk-show host to speak out on the flood of weapons among the general population in the U.S.

How many more of these mass shooting will we have to endure before the powerful gun lobbyists ~ not least of all the National Rife Association www.nra.org ~ begin to care about the rights of people to feel safe?

Gun-ownership rights are currently more important than the rights of children to feel safe.

Commentary:  There are no words to express the sadness we feel knowing that twenty innocent six and seven year old ~ grade one students (12 girls and 8 boys) and their six teachers and educators were senselessly slaughtered.  Let hearts and minds open around the globe to put pressure on American politicians to take "meaningful action" so that this never happens again.  Let us openly show disdain for the glorification of unnecessary guns and weapons in the civilian population.  Let the thinkers in the U.S. know that their Canadian neighbours do not agree with outdated U.S. legislation.  The voices of common sense exist; however, they are out-shouted by powerful, wealthy lobbyists.  Let us Twitter, write, call and support those who are demanding new legislation.
