He’s Dead!

In one Chicago public school, a teacher was calling attendance, and when she got to the name of a particular student who wasn’t there and had missed a lot of classes, she asked if anyone knew where he was. And the answer she got was, ‘He’s dead.’ Over the past school year the number of public school students killed in Chicago was higher than the number of soldiers from the entire state of Illinois who were killed in Iraq during that period.

I hate guns. I much rather prefer the way we used to settled scores when we were kids - good old fist fight and/or wrestle. I don’t think things would have been pretty if guns were as prevalant back when we were growing up. My biggest nightmare: Someone I love getting hurt or killed in gun violence because a moron decided to use his/her gun to vent. What if that something terrible happened to be Emma? I am not sure what I would do. Needless to say, it would not be pretty. This madness M-U-S-T stop.
