MASS SHOOTINGS THIS WEEK END IN THE USA

This weekend the U S had mass shootings in Dayton Ohio and El Paso Texas. Mass shootings are designated with four or more people killed. When you do the math 252 mass shootings in the USA have occurred so far. The American people have had to endure the endless senseless slaughter for so many but the mass slaughter happens over and over again.

The National Rifle Association looks to the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution as American’s right to bare arms. What it actually says is that soldiers in a militia have the right.

Recently in Christ Church New Zealand 49 people in a Mosque were killed. The people’s outrage at the slaughter had Prime Minister Arden quickly passed binding legislation for a gun moratorium to prohibit the ownership/sale of automatic/semi automatic . The govt has set aside $185 million dollars to get the weapons out of the hands of the people.

What do you think that chance are that American politicians will follow New Zealand’s example to finally stop the endless slaughter of thousands of Americans? Take a moment to check out "You Tube" to view the true story "Runaway Jury" to see for your self why gun violence is what it is.

I thank God every day that I have the privilege to live in Dorchester, Ontario, Canada where our families can live in peace and not threatened with gun violence
