Disillusioned

Dear all of us,

I'm just feeling down today. There were so many stories about violence in the news yesterday and I woke up to more awful news today. I'm getting to the point where I don't want my kids to leave my side.
There was a killing spree in PA yesterday.
That gunman ran and was spotted in another area of PA, that area was on high alert for hours.
Two local high schools had violent threats made against them.
Over 100 kids were killed at a school in Pakistan.
All of this right around the second anniversary of Sandy Hook.

I believe that Americans have the right to bear arms.
I also believe that there should be strict gun laws in place.
Above all I believe that as Americans we need to step up our work in the area of mental health. We are the greatest country in the world and we are failing our citizens and our children.

When will a change take place?
