\"Did<\/a>America’s future echoes in the empty silence of hollowed prayers. \u00a0Political leaders and legislators heap insult upon injury by adding saying nothing to doing nothing. \u00a0Homophobia, racism, and Islamophobia are well armed in the unregulated militia we call America. \u00a0Each mass shooting, becoming more frequent and more severe, jacks up fear on all fronts. \u00a0The hum drum of dozens and dozens of gun deaths every day carries on as a brutal norm. \u00a0That suicidal depression and alienation are gravely\u00a0weaponized in a gun-packed America bears little note except, perhaps, in funeral homes. \u00a0As fear traumatizes and re-traumatizes US, perhaps the only thing truly safe is the Second Amendment — minus the “well regulated” detail, where the devil lies, and God is dammed to Hell. \u00a0\"<\/a>Won nation under regulated militias. \u00a0In the wiled west of so-called civilization, armaments may very well\u00a0dissemble\u00a0the cause and solution to all of our problems. \u00a0Fear and hate is the weapons cach\u00e9 that jacks up profits for the gun industry\u00a0and\u00a0lethality for the wrest of US. \u00a0Praying for the dead is fine, but let US not allow preying on the living continue. \u00a0Or, more infamously put by\u00a0Mother Jones: “Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living.\u201d<\/p>\n
