Now That I’ve Got Your Attention—
This post has nothing to do with the interplay (if any) between push-up bras and guns.
I just need to get something off my chest (which, believe me, does not look like that.)
If you, like me, favor stronger gun safety laws — universal background checks, limited magazines, control of certain types of armor-piercing ammunition (the kind of ammunition whose sale is opposed by virtually all police groups)–then, please, please, please, call your congressperson and senators and make your voice heard.
Nothing will happen on this issue unless non-NRA voices speak out.
Here’s a link that will help you find your representative: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/
Here’s another one for your senator: http://www.senate.gov/reference/common/faq/How_to_contact_senators.htm
(P.S. – to those of you who are against gun legislation – hey, call too, if you want. I think your view is already amply represented, but I am urging civil dialogue between everyone here. Getting your vote counted.)

I do. I think that if nothing else children should never be allowed to touch a gun.

Ha, yes your picture DID get my attention. LOL. Good reminder, Karin. I will get right on it!

Ha. Thanks. In Florida it’s especially important. I always feel like in New York, it’s a bit more problematic as there is more agreement. k.

I live in Wisconsin!! I don’t know if you have heard the Sheriff of my County this week on some of the national talk shows telling people they should KEEP weapons in their homes, as there would not be enough law enforcement people to respond. Read this:

He is the sheriff of MY county!! Yikes!

Hmmm, I wrote a comment, but it doesn’t seem to have gone through. I live in Wisconsin. Perhaps you have heard of Sheriff Clarke of MY county who has been making the news circuit this week because of his advising people to keep a gun in their home in case of intruders. Here is an article which will clue you in. Anyway, needless to say, Clarke is very controversial!!

Of course we should speak out with the voices of reason. Our children deserve nothing less. Good reminder.

Oh, yes. We are bombarding whatever powers we know … Good to post, Karen.

Good! I’ve written one congressmen – the other people are all of my side, but still good to give support. k.
