You're probably well aware of the great tragedy that unfolded in Colorado yesterday. There's no other words to describe the events that unfolded in that movie theatre. My thoughts and prayers go out to those injured in this senseless act, and to the families of those who lost a loved one. One of the things I continue to hear following this incident is the blame placed on guns. If guns should be responsible for killing people, shouldn't cars be responsible when a drunk driver kills someone? Sadly guns are being blamed when the responsibility should be place on people's actions. In our culture, sadly taking responsibility is the last thing someone wants to do. I appreciate the millions and millions of gun owners in America who acted responsibly yesterday. Just as with most things in life, a person makes a choice to do something. Whether it's taking a gun and committing a crime, getting behind a steering wheel drunk, or anything else, it's the person who's responsible, not the gun or the car. My heart goes out to all to everyone affected by Colorado's shooting, as well as everyone who's ever been affected by the actions and choices of a drunk driver. Don't blame guns or vehicles for people's actions...
Great post!
