A sweet innocent life was taken in New Mexico because of
the penchant for violence that we are experiencing in our
country. Too many students and innocent people are shot
every day. I cannot understand minds that do not value
life, human or animal. Do our young people not understand
that dead is dead? That those they kill will not be alive
to contribute to society, to nurture and care for others
and to bless us all with their presence.

I have lived 86 years without owning a gun. I do not think
they should be considered a necessity. The problem with
lax gun laws is that maniacal people are able to get them
so easily. It is a complex problem that involves safety,
hunting, (which I deplore), and in certain instances
protection.

Please let your voice be heard by way of facebook or
Twitter or letters to your congressman. We are all
diminished by needless deaths.
