Gun violence

A Friday morning shooting in an Arkansas grocery store left three dead and eleven wounded, including the suspect and two law enforcement officers.  Two days previously seven people were injured in Pennsylvania. The day before in California two were killed and two injured. These senseless killings go on and on. 

The numbers are staggering. It is time we face reality that this problem is not going away. We can all work together to help solve this devastating problem or we can just worry that our grandchildren might be the next victims of gun violence.
