The United States is a Deadly Place

All 19 children shot at a Texas elementary school had a heartbeat. Where’s the righteous Republican “pro-life” outrage?

California Governor Newsom calls inaction on gun violence a ‘choice’ after Texas school shooting. He is correct. The United States congress has made the choice to sacrifice lives in order to ensure that everyone can own any firearm they want.

So while President Biden called on the US to turn its collective pain into political action following Tuesday’s shooting. “Where in God’s name is our backbone, to have the courage to deal with and stand up to the lobbies? It’s time to turn this pain into action,” he said. That won’t happen.

If it was going to happen it would have happened after the killing if 27 adults and elementary school children in Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut December 14, 2012.

If we can’t go to a food market, a church or a park without fear of being killed is this a country to live in? Death rate from firearms in Canada is about 2 per 100,000 people but in the United States the number is 12.

Why has this killing happened? Because we love guns more than we love lives.
