Why

Yesterday, another mass shooting took place in our country. Six people are dead, including a Federal Judge and a nine year old girl, and Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) was shot in the head and remains in critical condition. No, this is not a news bulletin, but rather, a question. Why? So many of these shootings take place in this country every day, that it hardly seems like news. My question is why? If you want to protest, must you do it violently and why if you want to kill yourself, must you take others with you. Now I know that in today's shooting, the gunman was not planning to kill himself, just others, but why? Because he didn't like how he had been treated or to show that he didn't like God...why?

I know that there are many things that go on in our country that people don't like, and we each have our own ideas of what is right and wrong, and what is important and not important, but I would think that we can all agree, that...life, is important. And taking a life, is something you can't ever take back! Why do people do this!

It doesn't matter what your political views are, and I'm sure that many of you know that I am not a Democrat, but no one deserves to be shot at, except in war, and this isn't war. I pray for those injured and the families of all those injured or killed in today's tragedy.
