I don't want to know the details of the Sandy Hook shooting. I don't want them to follow me for the rest of my life. I don't want to know the face of evil.
But that is not a luxury we have. We cannot be blissfully ignorant to the pain and evil that is being perpetrated in this world. We must rise up. We must stand tall and say "no more." This is not about gun control — this is about more than that. A level of trust and love is missing in the world. We cannot disenfranchise others. We can no longer let anyone be seen as a target.
Hold more hands and value those around you. My heart goes to those that are suffering. I do not know nor can I imagine their pain. All I can do is show and give more love, and let more of it in.

Mountainman, you just proved to everyone that you have no idea what the term "secular progressive moral relativist" means.
Every one of the people you name were really conservatives trying desperately to hold on to old ways or More..
Leftist policies that foster violence?
Please list them.
I think it should be a little bit about gun control, too. Gun control would be a reasonable response to your plea.
