What is enough?

Are thoughts and prayers still the go-to response to murdered civilians out grocery shopping, sitting in church, or, being kindergartners and school-aged children?

I have a lot of questions today.

Is it still true that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun? Is that something people still say?

I’m curious why pro-life people aren’t advocating against gun lobbyists. If guns can kill people, why wouldn’t they fight for the lives of those who are vulnerable? 

If all lives matter, wouldn’t the 88-year-old grandmother who was murdered in Buffalo on Saturday matter? If blue lives truly matter, shouldn’t we be outraged by the death of a retired police officer, who was murdered after courageously confronting the 18-year-old grocery store gunman? Wouldn’t his death be enough to say, enough is enough?
