It was even in her building. She said they went into lockdown, but she was able to leave the building and leave the campus. It just boggles my mind that this is everywhere. We think it cannot touch us, but somehow because guns are so prevalent in this country, it's going to touch so many. We have an epidemic on our hands and if we look at it as a health crisis, maybe it will finally be addressed. I love your idea of putting gun safety questions into the ObamaCare's Best Practices Board. Absolutely brilliant. <br /><br />Finally snowed here in DC. I'm hoping it's not going to put too much of a damper on the march on Saturday. <br /><br /><br />Megan xxxMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-83925291466842768582013-01-24T07:47:24.775-07:002013-01-24T07:47:24.775-07:00Lucky you to have such a good physician! Bad guys...Lucky you to have such a good physician! Bad guys will always be bad guys, I agree, but what about the two guys at the Texas Community College who got into an argument and drew weapons and shot one another this week? If they hadn't been packing, would it have been a fist fight instead? <br /><br />It's around the margins that we'll begin to make progress, but that is how it always is, no?<br />a/bAshleigh Burroughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790757220725900941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-39439787541766782422013-01-24T07:37:25.697-07:002013-01-24T07:37:25.697-07:00I am not a gun fan, but I do agree that politician...I am not a gun fan, but I do agree that politicians making more laws will do very little to solve the very real problems here.<br />Murder is against the law. That fact hasn't stopped murder. It is against the law for convicted felons to possess firearms. Every day I read in the paper about a convicted felon with a gun committing another crime. I don't know the answers but I do feel strongly that they will not be found if we get ourselves stuck in a political debate.<br />BTW, my doctor always asks those questions.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.com
