What do we do about all this?

In the wake of the Sandy Hook killings, "What do we do about all this?" On Friday, it is shock. It is disbelief, it is numbness to the numbers, the victims. On Saturday it is listening, it is reeling from the innocence lost. It is a feeling of grief. On Sunday it is praying, it is crying, it is folding our hands, listening to our pastors and being told that it is God's will. NOW IT IS MONDAY - GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THIS. There is still grief, there is still sadness, there is still mourning. But, "GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THIS". What do I mean? Crying is normal, praying is noble, wringing our hands asking why is ok, But for God's sake "GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THIS". So you ask, what can I do?. Talk to your young kids, talk to your teenagers, talk to the young adults in your life, talk to your husbands. Yes, talk to the boys and men in your life, talk to the girls and women in your life. How do we fix a broken society that would raise boys into killers? Yes, I said it, it is the society we need to fix. It is the society that tells single mothers that boys don't need fathers. It is the society that sits our boys down in front of the gaming console with a digitial M16 rifle. It the society of killing all around us, on the news we watch and on the entertainment we support. We have a society that surrounds our boys with women teachers, kicks dad out of the house and leaves the boys to make their own path. WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT ALL THIS We can blame the guns, they share in the blame for sure. We don't need high-powered killing machines placed in civilian hands. We need guns though. We need protection, we need security and we need tools to stop violence. As you may have known, The Farmer believes in our right to bear arms. I own several guns and will fight for MY right to keep them. I have guns for hunting and I have guns for the protection of my life, the life of my family and for YOUR PROTECTION AS WELL. I have registered guns, I have a concealed weapons permit, I have taken days of training on how to carefully handle, store and use a gun. I have used a gun for more than thirty years. I know where I can and cannot carry a concealed weapon. I cannot carry on school grounds, in a post office or a bank. I cannot carry in bar or on an airplane. Criminals know this as well, making schools "soft targets", filled mostly with female teachers and little kids. Let's DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THIS. Let's turn over every stone. Let's point fingers at everyone and everything that is to blame. Don't be blind to think that there is a single cause that leads to a single result. There is plenty of blame to go around. NOW GO DO SOMETHING.
