Yesterday I said it wasn't time to talk but to grieve. Today however it IS time. Looking for answers [View all]

as to how we can prevent mass murders from happening like they did yesterday, or even if we can.

I am typing this quickly, off the top of my head and I am sure that there are many other options for the poll that I haven't thought of. If you would like to add something in, please do so as I'd like to read your thoughts.

It sucks, it truly does. My heart is breaking and I do not know how to change things. I will be online at times today, will check back in, but am also making cookies so please do not expect an immediate reply. thank you
