A poignant post on Twitter today:

USA Fill in the blank daily news report:

A  __­­______ entered a _______ and opened fire with a ______. __________ people were killed. Pray

for ___________.

Before yesterday’s attacks at a movie theater in Louisiana there were 203 mass shootings in the United States. Since Jan. 1.

In 2013, there was a shooting in which more than one person was injured or killed every. Single. Day.

We will leave flowers. We will gather by candlelight. We will shake our heads in disgust.

And then we will go home. And do nothing.

And tomorrow, it will happen again.

Why is this an acceptable way to live?

Why is going to the movies dangerous? Why can’t children sit in a classroom without fear of being killed?

These atrocities will not stop until we stop them. Sometimes, that means limiting the guns.

No one needs a weapon powerful enough to mow down dozens of people in a matter of seconds.

No civilian needs the same amount of firepower that a soldier on the field of battle is armed with.

Think long and hard about your love for guns, America. And then make the right choice.

Or will it take burying your own child, who was shot while doing math homework in their tiny desk at school, before you see the senselessness?
