COLUMBINE AND THE DIFFERENCE 'SIX DEGREES OF SEPERATION' MAKES...
 
Gentle Readers, well, again, it is time for YOU to make a difference. We all talk about how bad things are in the world and how the government is usurping rights and creating a militia-mentality in America. Come on, admit it. You are probably as guilty as I am of 'griping and hiding'.
 
Face it, this country has been built on fear. The boogey man is out there waiting to 'get' us!
 
Isn't that why we love our guns?
 
But there IS another side of this fear based mentality and the love of guns... events like what happened at Columbine. Whether we want to admit it or not, we buy into the fear every time we watch on the news about how some innocent person was shot with an assault weapon.
 
Are you ready to make a small but meaningful difference - for once?
 
Please consider signing Tom Mauser's Petition to Renew the Assault Weapons Ban. Tom Mauser is the father of a victim of the Columbine High School Massacre, Daniel. He is upset enough to do something so that, hopefully, other people don't become innocent victims of assault weapons.
 
This petition is a 'little' different. After signing it, you can actually go back to the link I've given and check to see how many other people signed the petition because of your action. If you have a blog of your own, I strongly suggest that you follow the directions on the page and create a link to sign your own readers up.
 
I believe that one person with fervent belief can make a difference. If you care enough to publish your thoughts for the world to see, then you already are making a difference. The thing about blogging is, we generally don't know WHO reads our blogs much less how or even if what we say affects other people. I say, have a little faith and speak out against the use of assault weapons. You never know who will read it and, at the very least, think twice about the lack of wisdom in using them.
 
After all, if you use an assault weapon and you aren't in the military, eventually, someone will have to 'pry it from your cold, dead hands' anyway.
