I have been waiting for this article. I was hoping that you would reach deeper. Let me start by saying that as an Honorable Army Retiree, I do not own, nor do I desire to own a weapon. Expecting to take back guns will not work. I live in a predominantly black neighborhood and every night I go to sleep listening to the sound of gunfire. Unfortunately, I don't think that we will hit a nerve that will make a difference. Are we held hostage, not really. However, without Divine intervention and the awaking of a nation, I don't think that the scourge will end anytime soon.

I could not reach deeper. Could not. I was too much in grief and shock. I have to take care of that first for my brain to reach deeper. I think it is interesting that you are ex military and do not have a weapon. You are an anomaly in my mind. We must wake up. You are so right.
