the sad thing is that this will keep happening until we do something about our gun laws, like MAKE SOME and then PASS THEM. It's like Mother Earth sending a huge hurricane to hit the east coast had to happen before any of our politicians even began to speak of global warming in this election. Obama needs to do something. It's his last term, what does he care?? Yes he has his legacy to think about but I think there are more people who want gun control than who don't. And I also think he would have a hell of a legacy if he would do something like that. I wish he would just go completely rogue and do all kinds of radical shit before he leaves office. I feel so badly for those parents who lost their children to others' stupidity...and that's what it boils down to...stupidity and ignorance.

I'm sure in the bigger picture maybe those little souls came in to do just this..sacrifice so something would be done about the gun situation in the U.S. So others won't have to lose their lives as well. But it didn't have to be that way if we had done something before now. We can only hope that in time the parents and children who witnessed this will find the love to forgive and heal and also find some peace.
