At a Mall in Texas. At a Garlic Festival in California. One after another, mass shootings have become a national pastime, like watching a white Bronco. It is inevitable in a country swimming with guns, more guns than we have people. Do we ask if it is depression, a mental illness, when our young people overdose on opiates?
RFK’s grand daughter’s overdose is being treated this way, better to have a disease than an overabundance of drugs and guns. Is it simply a, OUR mental health problem? REALLY? Think about this please people. It’s the GUNS stupid.
I heard that in our country, 30% of mass shootings end up dead. 30% are killed on the spot with our amazing assault weapons that are designed to do the most damage in the shortest amount of time. 30% end up in an ER, and are discharged with minor injuries. Thank you to my husband and my daughter for being on the front lines.
The rest, 40% are left with disabling, chronic injuries. They must have multiple surgeries and end up with chronic conditions. Some are in wheelchairs for the rest of their lives. 40 people in El Paso have survived the mass shooting today, but their lives have been forever changed.
Remember to VOTE next year as if your lives depend on it. We are the only country with this public health menace, with elected officials who take money from the NRA and send thoughts and prayers to the survivors. It’s time to wake up America. Gun violence is our number one priority,
Nana Camp is continuing this weekend with our Grand Dogs.
