I can't make it
Sorry, I can't make it, but I want to help end gun violence.
What: Friday's school massacre in Connecticut is a national tragedy. Lori Haas, whose daughter survived the shooting rampage at Virginia Tech five years ago, has called for candlelight vigils today to remember the victims and say "Enough! End gun violence now." We'll gather at schools, parks, and other public locations to mourn, build community, and stand together for an end to gun violence. Can you join us in Westfield today?
P.S. Can't make this event? Here is another event near you:

This event and petition appears to be sponsored or associated by the hyper-partisan, liberal progressive group move on.org. Is Patch now advertising for this partisan group?
The only "conversation" about guns Move-on.org wants is a one-sided emotional one that attempts to politically capitalize on the little victims in this senseless tragedy. Consider that before you sign anything Move-on.org sponsors.

Sure, but on this page you're the only one who brings the word 'politics' to the conversation. Forget about that, though.
Since you know what's best for everyone...evidenced by your "consideration" suggestion; how do you suggest we deal with this? As a society?
And do we apply that same strategy to the NEXT mall, school, church, or whatever it is? I'd really love to know; should I hole up in my basement, in a corner, gun aimed at whoever comes downstairs? No. That's not the country I live in. In MY country we solve problems. And I don't criticize others for trying to do so.

Candle light vigils are stupid. Only stupid people who like to be sad and cry alot and like to be emotional attend these ridiculous events
