As a father, I weep with sadness and my heart aches for the murdered children in Connecticut, I can only imagine with horror what the parents are enduring and the emotional turmoil they are going through. I can't imagine this happening to my kids or how I would deal with it. So all I can do is mourn the loss of such innocence and give my condolences to the families of the slain.
Yet my mourning is cut short because immediately the call is for an infringement upon a fundamental right. I find myself having to switch my emotions and thoughts from their proper place of dwelling on this horrible tragedy and loss our country has experienced and grieving to a defensive one having to retaliate with logic the immediate attack of those not wanting to waste a crisis. I don't want to do this I feel horrible having to do this, because we should be focusing our energies in giving support to those who are the surviving victims of a murderous madman, but I know if I don't and others who value their fundamental rights don't, that those constantly on the look out for incidents to rationalize their encroaching tyranny will win.
I experience another emotion at these people, anger. Not anger in a temper tantrum, physically going to act out manner but righteous indignation at these monsters who dance in the blood of our children. Shame on you!
