I think it's time that this country has a legitimate discussion about GUN CONTROL!!!

Yesterday, the lame duck Michigan legislature passes a law that allows concealed weapons in Day Care Centers.

Next day, Newtown, CT. happens with reports that at least 14 K-4th graders are among the victims.

How many more children have to die, before we have a legitimate discussion?
This is it for me.

Pray for those families that will find out the worse.

What ever controls were put in place have long since been removed by the gun nuts.

then the discussing will be in the American psyche for the days to come. The media will try to sweep it away and politicians will tippy toe around this issue. But the public this time around will want answers to this gun crisis.

It's time to start taking people's guns away. If it has to be from their cold, dead hands, that's their choice. #disarmamerica
