A Response to the Shootings
We are a local blog that focuses on local issues, but we are still members of a national community and, at times, issues that affect those in a distant part of our nation affect us in such a way that it becomes necessary to respond.
Many of you are aware of the shooting that happened this morning in Aurora, Colorado. At times like these people from every side of the party line use the event as evidence of why their certain political standpoint is the best. We've heard some call for stricter gun control and other say this is a result of a nation's inattention to God.
Whatever the case or correct political philosophy, today is still a day of tragedy. The bickering is inevitable, but let us first mourn the loss of life that happened today. If we fail to acknowledge the weight of the deaths of innocent people, we are no better than the gunman.
