"But evil men and
impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."
2 Timothy 3:13 NKJV
Just as First Lady Michelle Obama said today about the case of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton who had been
shot in the back, Jan. 29, as she was spending time in a park with her friends:
"Hadiya Pendleton was me and I was her. But I got to grow up and go to
Princeton and Harvard Law School and have a career and a family and the most
blessed life I could ever imagine."
Excerpts
reported yesterday by Associated Press:
Residents said the man first
killed his son and his mother before leaving his house and then began shooting
his neighbors. They expressed shock, describing the suspect as a nice quiet man
living in one of a dozen modest homes that make up this village set on a lush
green hill covered with fruit trees.
"He knocked on the
doors and as they were opened he just fired a shot," said resident Radovan
Radosavljevic." He was a good neighbor and anyone would open their doors to
him. I don't know what happened."
This could have been
Anywhere, USA. It wasn’t. It was in Serbia, where shootings
are relatively rare but weapons are
readily available from former wars.
Yes, we all know tragic stories will continue, just as DUI will continue
regardless of driving laws. Background checks won’t turn bad to good. But at
least it’s a beginning of having authority to say “no” to the bad and “yes” to
law abiders. The
final nod is up to our elected officials in Congress, who were chosen based on background checks
themselves.
“…one
thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching
forward to those things which are ahead.” Philippians 3:13

Thanks for your comment. For some reason, many people choose not to comment publicly. Instead, I get most via email and public conversations through others.
DeleteAnyway, I’ve been trying to rationalize why Congressional members we voted into office to protect us and represent us decided at the last minute to disallow background checks for gun sales. Background checks have become such a mainstay of life, that we typically expect them—from jobs to credit checks and even to getting a motor vehicle license. Why not gun sales?
It appears that #Congress was bought by the highest bidder, succumbed to threats of losing their political careers or was sucked into believing lies. It’s sad to know that our elected officials can be bought so easily. Whatever happened to courage and standing up for what is right for society because it’s the right thing to do?
