This morning, January 7, we awoke to a bright sun shimmering on the snow and ice and with the news that a man with a shotgun and a hand gun had walked into a large electrical supply complex, shot five people, killed three and may have shot himself. The news broke so fast, that we are uncertain about numbers, motives or even who the perpetrator is/was.
When I listen to arguments that it is un American or against the Constitution to want to curtail the sale of weapons to private citizens, I listen in disbelief. Webster Groves, once a quiet suburban area, home to 23,000 plus people, has now lost lives and a way of life because somehow a gun was in the wrong man's hands.
Yet, we continue to accept the unacceptable ownership of weapons which can turn a quiet snowy morning into a morning of horror.
