The massive killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School drilled a dark hole in every parent’s heart. Beautiful little children were murdered in their classrooms in broad daylight. All twenty-six people were killed by assault rifle and handguns. Our hearts were broken for the lose of innocent lives and our prayers go out to their grieving families. The whole nation grieved with the people in Newtown.

Little caskets and toys, the week long funeral services saddened people across the country. The editorial sections flooded with comments about gun control and deadly assault weapons being in the hands of those with mental illness. In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting, everybody demands answers as to why these killings are happening in their own backyards. Why aren’t we being protected from gun violence? Instead of taking guns away from the street, more guns are being put into capable hands. What capable hands? Only devils have capable hands when it comes to guns. Haven’t we lost enough lives already?
