America, it is time to change your gun laws. Everything political is run by the gun lobbies and the gun lobbies have way to much money and power. It’s obvious that the gun lobbies are in charge over there and not the politicians who should be running the country.

It’s time to stand up to the gun lobbies. It’s time to stand up against all the gun loving people who believe it is their right to protect themselves and bear arms because the second amendment of the US Constitution tells them they can own a gun.

I’m over turning on the news and hearing on repeat almost daily of a shooting happening in schools, day care centres, churches, shopping malls, out in the streets, parents who don’t store their guns properly where kids can find them, kids using guns on other kids…

I thought that after the Sandy Hook elementary school shootings, where 26 children and teachers lost their lives in 2012 would bring the changes to gun laws but no, the shootings continue. It seems as though the gun loving population of America has more rights and protection of their rights than what innocent children do. This pisses me off to no end.

I’m saddened by the thought for the parents who said goodbye to these 19 children as they went to school in Texas at the start of their day today, thinking that it was going to be a regular day but it turned out to be the worst day of these parents lives as they will never see their children again. My heart breaks for them. I also feel sad for the 2 teachers and their families who lost their lives today as well.

I’m saddened by the children who have to do shooter drills in school’s to prepare for the possibility of a shooter coming into the school. How about letting them be innocent children because that’s what they should be? They shouldn’t be thinking, is this the day I may die.

I’m angry at the US government who continually allow shootings to continue resulting in the loss of many innocent lives.

America, it’s time to get your shit together and change your gun laws now and get over your love affair with your guns. That was all well and good when there were no military forces or police to protect communities and individuals, where people had to defend themselves and their property.

America, just wake up and change your gun laws before even more people are senselessly and needlessly killed.

Here in Australia, there was a mass shooting in 1996 at a popular tourist destination in Port Arthur, Tasmania. 35 people were killed and a further 23 people were injured by a lone shooter who possessed high powered weapons. All it took was for that tragic event to happen and the gun laws in Australia were quickly changed and tightened. We haven’t had another massacre since and I thank the government for their quick actions in the protection of human lives.

America, it’s time to grow a pair and make your country safe for all… change your gun laws. Change them now. Yours is the only country in the world where almost daily, there’s a report of a mass shooting somewhere. That is something I wouldn’t be proud of believe me if I were an American citizen. Your lack of gun control does not make me want to visit your country, seriously.

Until next time
