Reading solemn statements like the one above show us just how close our political leaders are to understanding the grief and horror so many of us feel after the last mass murder of young people in Florida. Unlike members of organizations that support the rights of anybody to acquire assault weapons like the ones used in Syria to kill children we support the heroic steps taken by Dick´s and Wal-Mart to keep weapons of mass murder out of the hands to teenagers who don´t need them to kill bunny rabbits anyway. Our elected leaders should support the shop owners who are under attack by the patriotic nut fringe who call for a boycott of those stores that infringe upon our rights to have weapons to be able to terrorize your community or mine. Yes, of course, congressional servants of the NRA of both parties, as well as our glorious leader, must bow to the power of money, …, and cynical, political interests. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you living there in the alabaster cities so dimmed by human tears.
