Heart goes out to those in Connecticut

My Dad was a hunter of rabbits, foxes and pheasants when I was a young girl too. My parents have a large farm and there was no shooting going on anywhere near people. But the Canadian government implemented a plan many years ago to get hunters and most citizens to turn in their guns of all kinds, long story and I don't have a link to explain it sorry, but my Dad turned his rifles in at that time.

Your post really hit home with me mamaof4 and I really don't think people who go on shooting sprees have any faith in a higher power. They are extremely troubled and sick people who have lost their way, but unfortunately they own guns.

I do agree with everyones point of view on the fact that Guns are too easily accessable, I think if all potential gun owners had to go through training with each purchase and a serious testing of mental patterns and such their would be LESS incapable gun owners out there, agree completely, it amazes me at how quickly a person can purchase a fire arm. I do agree with that view completely, just feel there are so many things that are under governmental control already, and we supposedly live in such a free country, but we are so controled and watched in so many other areas, seems sometimes the right to bear arms is one of the few original freedoms we still hold. We barely have the right to free speech and have almost diminished our right to open religion.
There is just such a decline in morality, and love for one another these days, that is the ultimate offense IMO.

if I can ask one thing of all my friends here on this post, whether you have the same God as me or not...could you all please take a few minutes today and pray or well wish these affected families that are trying to find answer in such a hard time. I can't imagine their suffering and my heart breaks every time I turn on the TV or think about this crazy situation. How unfair to have this happen, I pray for the peace these families need...there is never understanding in a situation like this, but I pray these families find peace in the midst of all the pain.
