Laura, here in Europe we watch in aghast and asbsolute incomprehension as the laws allowing these weapons remain in America. The tragedy of all thoe young lives lost is heartbreaking, yet it is allowed to happen again and again. In the 80s in the UK there was one mass school shooting and immediately ownership of most type of weapons was banned – a law supported across the parties. When, if ever, will reason prevail? When will the lives of children be put first?

It’s the fact that mass murder shootings are considered distinctly American that concerns me. I am horrified by how easy it is for a deranged person to get a weapon of war. There’s no sense to it.

In reply to tierneycreates: a fusion of textiles and smiles. "I think I can never get numb to the mass shootings, each one rips my heart out afresh." Me, too.

Yes sometimes blogging is challenging when there is such great tragedy in our country and the world. I was blocked for a bit as nothing I wrote seemed to matter. I appreciate your sentiments and I do not think it is a 2nd amendment rights debate – I think it is – why does anyone but the military or police need these type of weapons (and why on earth would an 18 year old be given access to them?). I think I can never get numb to the mass shootings, each one rips my heart out afresh.

In reply to cedar51. Thank you, Catherine. Yes, it's a balancing act trying to stay engaged & sensitive to what's going on around us and keeping 'sane'. Take care.
