Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My new perspective on Newtown

.....let the POS shooter disappear into anonymity. I believe this is what we should be doing: morning the loss of the innocent and celebrating the lives of the pure.

So, I am going to take a stand on this CT killing. I have heard stories about the number of guns, emotional stability of the family and the shooter. Blame has been placed on poor gun control, issues in our schools and poor parenting. People are throwing blame against the wall and carelessly running with whatever they can make stick. I am not a big person and have my fair share of issues and problems. But, as someone I believe to be caring and loving, I am not going to live and feed on the hate being spewed from the stories and would encourage all to do the same. We are talking more about the shooter than those beautiful children, the lives they lost and the joy brought and if allowed, will continue to bring. I heard the story of Robbie Parker and his love for his daughter Emily. if you have not seen it, go and listen and tell me it does not ring of love. Imagine the stories if we all celebrated each one of the slain with his passion and let the POS shooter disappear into anonymity. I believe this is what we should be doing: morning the loss of the innocent and celebrating the lives of the pure. Some will say that I am naive and live in a bubble, so be it. As a father, I should be telling more about how cherished my kids are and the life the offer me on a daily basis than debating my weapon of choice or arguing over where I stand on gun control and mental health. So, I will no longer participate in the mongering of the CT situation but begin looking for strength and perseverance of those left without. Those kids should not die and go uncelebrated by all of us while we attack each other over what gun was used, who was shot first or who is to blame. I just don�t have the strength to live with all that hate.
