BARBARA, I AM SO APPRECIATIVE OF THIS AND OTHER RESPONSES TO THE NUMEROUS RECENT TRAGIC OCCURRENCES OF DEATHS BY GUN VIOLENCE IN THIS COUNTRY. CERTAINLY OUR ATTENTION IS RIVETED ON ILLINOIS, TEXAS, BUFFALO, AND ON SANDY HOOK AND OTHER FIRE-ARM CATASTROPIES THAT HAVE SHAMED AND DARKENED THE LIGHT OF OUR COUNTRY IN RECENT YEARS.
WE GATHER HEARTS AND MINDS THAT ARE FILLED WITH COMPASSION AND SYMPATHY FOR THOSE LEFT BEHIND IN AN ENCOMPASSING CIRCLE THAT SHARES IN THE TEARS AND PAINS OF THE FAMILIES OF THE DEPARTED INNOCENT ONES. HOWEVER, YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THIS IS NOT WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES. IT'S THE 'ROOT' OF THE PROBLEM THAT HAS TO BE STOPPED.
THUS, IT'S THE 'GREEDY' PLANTERS THAT ARE REFUSING TO CEASE THE PLANTING AND MANUFACTURING OF THESE 'VEHICLES OF DEATH' THAT ARE TO BLAME. AND UNLESS WE DIG UP THE 'ROOT' IT WON'T STOP.
BUT, SADLY, THE ROOT OF THIS PROBLEM IS IN THE HANDS OF THE POLITICIANS ON THE HILL!!! THE POLITICIANS...THAT ARE GETTING THEIR POCKETS 'LINED' WITH NRA 'GREENS'.
IT'S THE PLIABLE, LOOP-HOLED LAWS, WHICH NRA SUPPORTS AND LOBBY'S FOR, THAT ARE ALLOWING THE ACQUIRING OF FIRE ARMS SO EASILY. AND PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME THE 'AGE' STUFF...BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN THAT IT IS TOO EASY TO GET AN UNSUSPECTING FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND, WHO IS OF AGE TO ACQUIRE GUNS FOR UNDERAGE INDIVIDUALS.
ALSO, IT'S NOT JUST ON-LINE AND OVER-THE-COUNTER SALES THAT WE HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT... BUT OUR BOARDERS... THE HIGH-POWERED ARMS ARE 'SMUGGLED' IN ALSO!!!!
SO WHAT IS THE ANSWER?! OTHER THAN THE IN-POURING AND AWAKENING OF THE LOVE OF ALMIGHTY GOD IN THE DEADENED HEARTS OF GREEDY LAWMAKERS...I DON'T HAVE ONE. THEREFORE, THOUGH WE KNOW THAT, 'THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL IS THE 'LOVE' OF MONEY', WE MUST PRAY THAT GOD, '..WHO IS ABLE TO DO EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK..', ENTERS INTO THE CONSCIENCE AND MIND OF THOSE ON THE HILL THAT HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE THE RIGID LAWS THAT WILL INHIBIT THE SALE OF GUNS TO THE COMMON POPULACE, WHILE ALSO 'GETTING REAL' ABOUT THE GUN-SMUGGLING OPERATIONS. AND THEY CAN DO IT.
IF THEY SET UP TASK FORCES FOR EVERYTHING ELSE(ON HORSEBACK RUNNING PEOPLE DOWN LIKE AMINALS AND TAKING AWAY CRYING BABIES FROM A DEFENSELESS MOTHER'S ARMS)WHILE ROUTING IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE SEEKING THE FREEDOM OF OUR COUNTRY, WHY NOT GET JUST AS SERIOUS AS THE IMMIGRATION BOARDER PATROL...AND STOP THE SMUGGLING OF ILLEGAL ARMS COMING INTO THIS COUNTRY?!
OUR INTELLIGENT CIA KNOWS THE ROUTES OF THESE SHIPMENTS COMING IN BY AIR, LAND AND SEA, BUT THEY'RE PAID... FROM POCKET TO POCKET... TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY!
SO HERE WE ARE...LEFT TO DO WHAT WE CAN DO. AND BESIDES SIGNING PETITIONS THAT URGE OUR REPRESENTATIVES TO 'DO THE RIGHT THING', THE GREATEST PART OF THAT IS...PRAYER. KNEE-BENDING, FAITHFUL PRAYER.
FOR THUS, LET US NOT FORGET THAT PRAYER IS AN ETCHED PART OF OUR FOUNDATION. AND THOUGH WE WON'T EVER UNDERSTAND THE THINGS THAT OUR CREATOR ALLOWS... THIS WE MUST KNOW AND NEVER FORGET; HE, WHO LOVES US, IS STILL IN CHARGE AND HE IS OUR ONLY HOPE DURING THIS HORRIFIC TRYING TIME IN OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY.
ALBEIT, BARBARA, I REALLY BELIEVE; THAT NO MATTER HOW TERRIBLE IT APPEARS...WITHOUT JESUS, IT WOULD BE SO MUCH WORSE!
AND AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
