Uncommon things occur in life and we learn to accept them as we go, in America we have had many of these occurrences, whether it was back before the Pilgrims hit Plymouth, Mass. or before. The American Indians were here before any white man, thought of coming here, they cared for their people and respected the land and resources they had. It was the invading White men who took America away from the Indians, by making and breaking deals with them, they were called treaties.  History wants to and does paint the American Indians as evil and the old cowboy and indian shows and movies portray it all that way, they are actually colored by the white man’s perceptions, and views. The American Indians, knew their land, they knew it’s resources and how to preserve and protect them too, they only killed animals to eat, and never more than they could eat or feed their families with. They don’t pollute the waters, tear the trees down, or damage the air and sea, they, kept them pristine and clean. Sadly, the white men from Europe came here and all changed, now the world, suffers for not listening or learning from these Indians, who were here first.

Instead of listening and living with and understanding the American Indian the white men, took their lands, and warred with them and pushed them to Reservations. The American Indians never gave up or surrendered really, they preserved themselves out of no choice of their own on the reservations they were limited to, not because they wanted to, but because they had no choice to save their ways of live and their bloodlines and heritage. In American History the American Indians are always painted the bad side of the coin, because with the victors go the spoils and with the losers go the condemnations, so to say. Many different Tribes ran across the North American land, before the white man did that is for sure.

They too had their customs, their traditions, their gods and their loves and dislikes and likes. Did they matter to the white man who they originally befriended, no they didn’t, the white men were greedy and took all they could, forcing the American Indians into corners and positions they had no choice in fighting from, including for their own survival, which they ultimately need save by surrendering and keeping to themselves on the provided reservations. Sadly, it is not where the American Indian belongs and all know it, for they have a majestic tradition and spirit like the eagle and hawks that fly above us that begs for freedom and they will persist, thank god for the American Indian had and still have many great leaders.

One such leader for the American Indians represented his own tribe in the Great State of Oregon, a vast area with great lands and resources at the time of the 1870’s and 1880’s and 90’s, his name was Chief Joseph, he led a tribe of Indians called the Nez Perce, When the white men began to take his valley where his people lived this Chief, resisted and tried to keep his lands, but the White man had the Calvary and the United States Cavalry  and outnumbered and outgunned the Nez Perce in all ways. Ultimately Chief Joseph and his people were forced from their valley and lands and tried to make a run for the Canadian Border to join with Sitting Bull and his tribe. As they moved and tried to escape the persecution of the white man’s Calvary, they would blaze a trail up across the north west and in to the midwest hills of Montana, and came within 64 miles of the Canadian Border, and getting to  Canada. Their fight and struggle along the way took many of their lives and one of them was taken in the final battle, was Chief Joseph’s brother who devised ways to avoid capture and fight the white man, and when he died in the final battle in Montana, Chief Joseph, broke and finally gave in to the white man and surrendered. Yet, even though he surrendered himself and his people, Chief Joseph tried hard to get back to his own valley in Oregon, but the white man broke the deals and treaties they made and force him far from Oregon to other reservations. The man kept fighting for the freedom of his people and tribe and was still their leader when he died, CHief Joseph the Younger is a story, told in Indian Lore and history, as well as portrayed in books and movies in America. The Point is this, the American Indian were here first, it is their native land not ours as whites blacks, hispanics or asians, it belongs to the American Indians, and sadly we have diminished and killed off too many Indians in our so called strive to prosperity, we forget the fact, that it was the American Indians, who showed the white man how to survive in America and what did we do in return, destroy them and their way of life. Americans of all nationalities who came here declaring this country the land of the free and the brave, and coming for religious freedom and a place to live and prosper, did so at the price of destroying what was native and who was native to the land they took, and never once did the white man look back and say thank you to the American Indians, we should. The American Indians deserve our respect, and we should give it to them at all times, for without their help the white man would have died off, in Plymouth, Mass. and never went anywhere or survived.

I hope someday, someway, a voice of reason will be heard once more in America, that will recognize the American Indians, and give them the honor they deserve as a race, nation and each tribe that still exists, should be honored. If the white man had not chased down and tried to remove the American Indians from their own land they loved so much, the American Nation would be so much better today.

Each day we wake up to a bigger mess in American Politics, due to the election of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. The World as well as out country may never be the same that is for sure. Did those who voted for this man know what he was before they did, as some of his naysayers are saying these days on television, I say not. No one knew how much of a womanizer  he is, no one knew how many women he touched or kissed or went after and abused or harassed before he was elected. We sure are finding out now after he was voted in aren’t we?

He raised his hand and took the oath of Office folks, yet he is not fulfilling that oath in many ways. He is not protecting america, he is ruining America!. let’s start with simple stuff, like, isn’t Russia communist and our enemy? So why is he not speaking of Russia or Putin’s wrong doings in the world? Not one word does Donald Trump say about Putin or Russia, you know why, because Russia and putin, bought Trump his presidency is why!.

He has removed us from agreements all over the world, from economic to environmental and yet no one reacts or does a thing to stop him. The Isolation of America from the world markets and environmental pacts to save the planet should be enough to worry politicians and the people in general yet no one reacts in Congress why? Next he is taking us out of NAFTA and trying to get it rewritten on his own here, come on folks, is this allowed even and is it not crazy?

He promises to build a wall across the United States Southern Border to keep mexicans and drugs out, but will never get it built because Americans and Mexicans know we don’t need it or want it really. We have survived as a nation with open borders to the south and north of us for 242 years, so why build one now and make Mexico think we hate them? What’s next a border wall blocking Canada too?

Now Canada, why does Trump lie and make things up while talking to the Canadian Prime Minister and mislead the Canadians? Why would an American President do such a thing to loyal friends and allies? You tell me if I am wrong here, but, did the Canadians ever do something to damage Americans or our country? No! So, what does Trump do, he hits the world with Tariffs, that affect our biggest allies and supporters, Canada and China and then asks for help from China with North Korea, wake up folks this is not a stable or smart President here!

As a citizen of America I know we all have rights, including the right to bear arm under the second amendment, but, should people who are mentally ill be allowed to have weapons and should Ar-15s and Military weapons be allowed on the streets of america, and children get killed in school because we are afraid to stand up to the NRA? Stopping Bump Stocks is not enough folks, we need all military type weapons off the streets of America and we need a President with balls enough to stand up to the NRA and get it done. I bet ya all you may have in the bank, if a member of the NRA or their families were shot and killed by Ar-15s or military type weapons, they would change it fast!.

Some historian or specialist in American History please tell me when and under whom, so many members of an Administration were either fired or force to resign under them? Never has the White House or Administration ever seen such a turnover rate in 242 years of this country existence.  So why is it happening now, are they all so inexperienced they can’t handle the positions Trump put them in?  Now he is saying he is going to pull our troops out of Syria and let other take over the fight there. Does anyone realize what will happen if he does that? Al Qaeda They are not killed off and done trump, nor have they surrendered and been captured so what the hell do you think will happen if we leave there? and others will move right back in and start right back over again! Sad and bad decision!

This is the saddest Presidency seen in American History, economically, politically, foreign affairs  wise and so much more. We are being isolated from the world and we have to listen to scandals between Trump and women he had affairs with, and watch as they roll toward court dates. Sad indeed!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Debate continues in America over gun laws, requirements, and who can and can not own a gun of some sort. As it rages, I want Congress, both Houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives to go back and read the Second Amendment fully, read the words of those who wrote it clearly and the purpose it was really intended for. The Right to Bear Arms, was written for a reason that no longer exists in America as it sits today. We are beyond  by many of centuries now, the need for Militias in America, we are being invaded by anyone and nor do we need Militias on our streets or in our land, no one is broaching our borders and trying to take over our land, our homes, or our country now, and the law is now outdated as should the amendment be. Too many people in America, believe the Second Amendments is a God Given Right,it is not, it was put in place for a reason and it can be revoked for a good reason also.

As our children die from gunshot wounds and violence in America, I get told by some I am a liberal and I should stop screaming, crying and complaining about the Second Amendment and the ownership of guns. Well, I have a response for those who think I am a liberal for speaking up on the gun laws in America and guns on the streets in general, listen closely. If I am a liberal for wanting guns off they streets then so be it, but, I am not really a liberal at all, I am a man, who believes no military type weapons should be on America streets or in the hands of mentally ill individuals in America. is that Liberal to feel that way, I think not, I think those of us who feel the way I do, feel that way for damn good reasons. Look I don’t want to see more child coffins carried to graves in out cemeteries, I don’t want to see those I love shot down by someone carrying a gun who has no reason  or business carrying one for no reason, other than they want one.

Raise the laws, and requirements now, make them qualify for owning a gun of any sort and take lessons, and get licences.Make the gun of all type harder to buy and get, stop the gun shows and sales of guns in that way. You want a gun, earn it as well as pay for it, know everything about the gun, the use of the gun, the maintenance of one and the proper handling and storage of one too. Learn to fire a gun of any sort you should only do so on a range made for guns and with targets that are not human beings.  Take the Military type weapons off our streets, AR-15’s are military type weapons made to destroy the human body or anybody they hit, and tea rit to shreds. They are not needed on the streets of America, and it is already illegal to use them for hunting.  Sadly, owning a gun for sport is even a danger these days, because the ones who own them don’t lock them away, but display them, and that give access to the children and mentally ill to take them and use them as toys, killing others for no reason other then, I say Daddy fire it and I want to too!. Trigger Locks should be on all weapons, unless they are in use on a range or hunting area, all clips and rounds should be out of the weapon before storage and not available for just anyone to grab and load into the weapon they fit. Children kill ,accidentally with handguns or shotguns also, stop it now by stopping selling them and regulating them better.

Bump stocks should be eliminated period, they are like a toys for gun owners, and take normal weapons and turn them into semi-automatic weapons that fire numerous rounds a ta greater rate. Why should they be on America’s streets they shouldn’t. Am I a bleeding heart liberal because I want my loved ones and yours safe from weapons that kill like the Ar-15’s or want to regulate and control guns in such a way as to prevent them bought and used by the mentally ill? I think not, I think what I am is a father, husband, Disabled Veteran who served 16 years and has the four Discharges to prove it, who wants to keep his family and your family safe and to live long full lives. That doesn’t make me a liberal folks, that makes me and all who believe like I do, Fathers or mothers, sisters or brothers, of all colors, races and creed, who want protection from weapons incorporated into our laws and the weapons used to kill humans off of our streets.! I am not a liberal in all ways, and I am conservative in many ways, but there comes a time in all of our lives, when we have to think more about the protection of the ones we love most, then about our own silly selfish selves, wanting to have a gun for fun, or because it’s our right under our Constitution, stop and think about that husband, that wife, that father that mother, that grandparent or child of your own and that belong to others and all are loved too, do you want to see your family destroyed and taken down by a stray bullet, or killed by a mentally ill person who can’t control themselves? I think not folks, I am not a bleeding heart liberal what I am is a man who hates seeing people die by weapons made for war.

 

Facing facts in life is maybe the hardest thing a man or woman can ever do, and self acceptance is the first place it should start. We all start to learn this at a young age as we grow up, some of us know it at 5 years old, others figure it out by 10 years old, but in the end we all figure out most things by 16 years old. Are they lines drawn in concrete or stone, no, for each of us learns and grows at the rate we are exposed to live around us and experiences we go through. We all, understand what we are born by a certain age in our lives, we sense if our senses are better than other, or our minds, and we judge by experiences as we go and we tend to avoid what is not right by using those experiences.

When your 5 or 10 years old you know already is you are straight, gay, or bi, on your own, you can feel what and who you are attracted to and definitely by 16 all senses come alive and you know what trips your trigger so to say. So, sexually you come alive as a person by 16 for both sexes, now the question becomes what kind of a family did you grow up in, and did they let you develop naturally or did they interfere?

IT’s like most things in life and it is a natural process, the unnatural starts to take shape as we go along and feel and sense life. We accept certain things or we dont’ based on what we are taught by others who raise us. Some of us become violent and can rage at society and either one sex or another for being mistreated at a young age. Others accept what is done to them and go with the flow because it is easier to do, it depends on personal decisions we all make or are forced to accept due to circumstances we live through. I know it is hard for some to accept what I am saying or understand it, for you have never stopped and thought about it, but maybe you should.

As you get older and go past 16 years old you tend to develop your own needs, desires and wants, and try to match them with someone who can provide what you want, and learn that to get where you want to go, or what you want, you have to give as well as take and start to listen about the other sides desires, wants and needs too. We all do it, it’s really a gradual process we learn, like a learning curve in education of life itself. If you want pleasure for yourself, you have to give pleasure to someone else in return. The problem come sin when it is all one sided, thus a relationship ends. To make it work compromise must exist between those involved or like nations on opposite sides of a war, it ensures conflicts and destruction. If you can’t compromise, listen and adapt, you lose and end up alone in life. I have seen it more than once, sadly, and in the wake of destruction is a mess few can overcome emotionally, so they go through life damaged and never able to overcome, it is a struggle. So adapt, change, evolve, compromise and listen, be a little flexible and make it work, for no relationships can work unless both are willing to work at it. Always remember, there are very few relationships that are perfect i would say none, it is all about working at them, to make them right for both involved.

I can say this because at 62 years old I am on my second marriage. My first one worked until her problems from her childhood arose and destroyed it. It is the hidden things that destroy the current things and create hate and anger. So open communication is vital, and that goes when trying to connect with those you lost or left behind too. honesty is vital, you must make sure all understand what really happened before you can really move on, and tat goes for all involved, even if you have children, they must be included too.

My second marriage didn’t produce children, but it is one that had gone on now for 25 years and is still in place. Why, because of compromise, acceptance, beliefs and honesty. Accepting each other for who you are and what you are is vital folks and it works both ways for people in partnerships. Always remember the person you are with choose to be with you out or love, respect and caring and maybe a sexual or physical attraction too, it all adds in. Be smart and give as much back as you can or more than they are and make it work, it can be worth it, if you want it to be.

I am now 25 years into mine with my wife. We have been through the good times, the bad times, the ups and the downs, and we have stuck it out together. We believed in one another, we love one another, and now we face the biggest hurdle in all relationships together one is sick and the other healthy, I take care of her, I married a woman 16 years my senior, her health is failing due to cancer. She has  breast cancer, since 2006, which we fought through chemo and radiation and beat back in 2006. Then it went into remission and showed up again in 2016 ten years later and is now in her bones. Recently we have learned it has now gone from bone to tissue again and is growing despite all medications and fighting we have done.

The fight begins once more in earnest now and I know as she does too, we are losing it slowly. I wish to God I could change it and keep her with me furever, that is what life, love and caring is about folks. Being there and praying, hoping and watching, waiting and hoping against hope you can prevent what you know, if your a realist you can’t change. We fight, I take her to Doctors, Hospitals, Scans and tests and I see the pain when she can’t lift an arm, when she can’t sleep in a bed anymore, I see her slowly fading but I pray for her and against what is happening, but I can not stop it folks. Cancer is a killer and we both know it, we have seen it before and both have had it it, we watched other die from it so we know what is coming. But we still carry on as close to normal as I can folks, so she can have her full life and enjoy what’s left.

 

 

 

Let’s talk writing, folks! I want to talk about the moment when you suddenly have a thought appear in your mind and it grows as you go along, but it remains in your head, and perculates some, but never comes out.  Perk it folks, brew it get it out on paper, or computer, make it real folks. I say this, because I have been there and done it myself and then realized I didn’t write it down or type it out when it was fresh in my mind and the idea went poof on me! Why? Because I didn’t take action and write it down, to have it for use later, I didn’t outline the idea or I just didn’t take the time to think it through and get it out on computer or paper and should have. Don’t make that mistake folks, if you write anything, a blog, poetry, books or anything else make sure when an idea hits you you write it down so you can go back and think on it, expand it, and outline it and then write it, into something all will want to read.

Subjects to write on can be almost anything, they can be drama, romance, suspense, mystery, historical, fiction, non fiction it doesn’t matter, what does matter if you write is that your mind is active and aware when you get an idea. We all watch television, movies, listen to music, or live our lives and run into unusual circumstances or position or relationships, don’t we. I know I do. Well, what to do when an idea pops into your head, record it on your cell phone, write it down on paper and carry it with you, or write it down as soon as you can on paper or computer. Ideas and thoughts flow through us daily, it is how you express them and what you make them into that counts. be creative, it makes life a lot more fun and interesting.

I have done some real life stories, some Naval Stories and some Army stories. I have done a few romances and written poems and blogs too on politics and more, use what you do best and get it out there. I have learned now though some lessons I think I need to pass on for all.

1) Write it down or type it out or record it as soon as it gets in your head.

2) Worry about the editing after your done, the biggest step is getting it out.

3) Revise it, once is out and then reread it again and again, till it sounds good                             to you.

4) Edit it using an editor or program on a computer use a spell check and                                    grammar check also.

5) When writing make sure you have a private space to do so in comfort.

6) Let it flow, feel it, so it feels good to you and right and says what you want.

7) When you finish and think you have it, give it to someone you trust, let                                  them read it over, get their opinion, advice incorporate it in it.

8)  Make the changes carefully and check and recheck your work, at this                                     stage if you wish to add or subtract now is the time and check it.

9) Now that you have a manuscript, put it in chapters, that make sense, add a                           Prologue, or Epilogue  and any Dedications in the end.

10) Choose a cover Image that represents the story and is interesting to draw                              attention. Make sure you do the whole cover front, back and seam.

11) Choose a publisher and either submit it to them, or submit it to the                                           program you are using online.

12) Once you have it submitted determine how much you wish to charge for a                             copy of it for sales purposes. Compare it to others of the same length and                                type.

13) Ensure you cover any publishing costs and delivery cost with the price                                  you use.

14) Advertising must be done online or in bookstores, articles interviews, or                               online. It costs to produce a book, so be prepared to spend to make.

15) Give free copies to friends and family.  If necessary do giveaways.

16) Track sales and drive marketing to those who like what you wrote.

Now the Above is not 100 Percent by all standards and there are no rules really to writing and producing books, Articles, Blogs or Poetry, but it is a basis to start from. Remember one more thing, an active mind is a creative mind and vice versa, read, interact with others, investigate and thing about things you love and use them. Words are a powerful device and weapon, so be careful and never copy or plagiarized, and have fun. If someone already wrote on your idea, you can still write on it in different words and style, no copying period. Life as a writer is an adventure folks, and it’s meant to make you feel when done that you told a story, many will want to hear and understand and enjoy. So, if you write remember you will have an audience and you will want them to read it all. We live and die with our thoughts, our ideas and our beliefs turned into creative things others will want to see.

 

 

 

 

One word, I hear all the time is don’t. Ever wonder about it when you hear it I do, and sometimes the word Don’t will cause you to stop and go why not? For many in the world the word don’t is like a warning sign or word, that says stay away, be careful, or danger in and of itself, but is it really?

As we grow up in this world and get on with our lives don’t become a word of necessity by our parents and friends and teachers and politicians and more, why is that?  The reason is obvious to all of us right, it’s a warning shot across the crest f our life ship, telling us danger is in that direction. Yet in case you haven’t noticed, those who ignore these don’ts, sometimes make great strides and advances not only in society and technology, and life, and as writers and actors and more, yes even politicians too.  So, if don’t is a warning shot, and used by parents universally in the world by all parents, why do some when they hear don’t, do anyway? Some of us are dare devils in our own right and we care not if someone says don’t and we do it anyway, others stop when don’t is heard, think it over and still do, and others hear don’t and go why not? So what is don’t in life and history?

Don’t is a word formed and produced really as a warning, against things other know will hurt us or our children of course. Yet, I remember as a child in elementary school a teacher, her name was Miss Hilding, an elderly women who taught fourth grade at the time. MIss Hilding who was an woman in her late 50s or early sixties at the time, took me under her wing that year and guided me back to basics and learning again with a gentle manner, after all the other students and Principal told her don’t. She didn’t listen to don’t because she had a conviction to teach, guide and protect her students and she had an affinity for me as a child. She told me one day when we talked after a class one day, ” Son, I am not your mother, or father, nor am I related to you, but I do advise you as your teacher, don’t isn’t always right, it is precautionary only. I remember that every day I sit down to write a sentence, every time I dare to write a story or tell one, or try to create a poem or book or explain a thought. For don’t whilea precautionary word is always there, I also know if you stop and never do it, it will never get done and no one will hear your voice, your thoughts or ideas or see who you are or how you can help the world or someone you love to understand life and how we survive.

If Don’t was always listened to we would not have America, we would not have Democracy, we would never know freedom of speech, or have the abilities we have toward in the world. If Don’t was listened to all the time folks, we would have made no advances in the world and still be in the cave age, wouldn’t we? So, whatever you do, when someone cries don’t loudly, look first and make sure your ok and know what your doing, but never give up, or we shall never get anywhere in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, or i science, or technology or love, will we? If we listened to the word don’t, would we have reached modern civilization of today, outer space, the moon or have been able to create telephones, cell phones, computers television, ovens, stoves, microwaves or anything else that has advanced mankind? No, we wouldn’t have, so as precautionary as the word don’t is, doesn’t mean it is a steadfast block does it? For those who dare to go past the word don’t are the heros and advancers of society, life, technology and science even stories and poems. So, whatever you do, be positive, and when you hear don’t look first, clear the way and obstacles and then do, for in the end avancements and life must go on, and mankind must advance and survive.

To: Melania Trump

From the American Public,

Dear First Lady,

All due respect for you being the First Lady and representing America in the world and at home and for your supporting all the things you do, but, isn’t it time you stop supporting your husband, Donald J, Trump now?

Here he is out there having affair after affair with other women being married to you while you are carrying his son and afterwards and yet you stay with this man? Sixteen women have accused him of sexual misconduct and abuse towards them, two women, one a porn star and one a ex- playboy bunny are telling their stories of their affairs with him, yet you say nothing and do nothing, why? Did you know what you were getting when you married him, that he was such a philanderer and womanizer? Did you know he would do as he pleased even while married to you, and not care what it did to you or how it made you look?

All due respect Mrs. Trump, I as a representative of the American People believe it is time you stand up, tell your story and tell how you feel about all the accusations that chase your husband around and now all the lawsuits and more that are happening. I would think by now, if you are like most women out there, and in the world you are getting to the breaking point over it all, aren’t you as of yet? How many more accusers do you need to hear from to believe them and know they are telling the truth?

Your husband is about to be taken to court for many dispositions in many different cases, the least of them not being the Stormy Daniels case and the Karen McDougal cases, these women will talk  Melania and as they do, what will it do to you, humiliation, embarrassment,  are just two small things, what about what it does to Barron your son, who all of us, know you love dearly?  At some point Mrs. Trump isn’t it time to protect yourself and your son from further damages and humiliation and embarrassment?  How many more sexual harassment and assault charges and stories of him being a predator do you need to react?

Here is the real question for you Melania Trump, Did you know what he was before you married him and said I do?  Are your standards and ethics and morals so low, that you are allowing him to drag you and your son through the mud?

Stand up, Melania, if not for your sake, than for the sake of you son Barron, his future and his life ahead of him. many love you Melania for your efforts as First Lady and the pride you have shown us all since becoming  First Lady, yet I can not understand why you would allow this to continue and hurt yourself and your son.Make a stand, do something, don’t allow your whole life to be ruined by all of this and your son’s life too.

 

 

 

 

This March For Our Lives  is amazing and changes must happen. If your a politician who gets money from the NRA , you better run and hide. The future voters of America are speaking. I give the politicians of America, a heads up here, millions of people around America want guns off the streets, they want the killings to end, you better start listening November 2018 is coming quickly, changes will take place many who are afraid of the NRA, and losing their backing or voters better think twice!.  The NRA may have money, but the people of America and it’s future are now speaking up and out, and I tell you now, if you don’t change it, they will change who fills the offices you hold!

There are only a few places guns belong and in the hands of everyday civilians is not it. We don’t need guns in the hands of gangsters, the mentally ill, or in our schools or our streets.  The Military has weapons because they must defend our freedoms and our rights and nation, the police have weapons to fight crime, no one else should have weapons, especially military type weapons. Rewrite the requirements to have a gun so the mentally ill are not allowed to get them, the requirements must be stronger and evaluations should be made of all who want a gun. Change it now, stop the gun shows and the sale of guns at them. Don’t let any weapon, whether a pistol/ handgun, or a rifle of military type be sold on the streets of America anymore.

I know the 2nd Amendment says all Americans have a  right to bear arms. I understand what the forefathers wrote the amendment for, it wasn’t so everyone can carry a gun for fun, it was to form militias to defend the country, against invaders and the theft or loss of freedoms and property and family. We have come a long way from the times of needing people armed for these purposes, we are a different nation and a different world.  Violence is not the way to a safer world, open communication is, honesty is, compromise is, not violence or guns.

Too many innocents are killed because fools don’t wish to fight the NRA, and they depend on the money The NRA provides to them. It must stop now, if you are a politician and you receive money from the NRA, or the makers of weapons,  I would recommend you stop now and rethink your position or lose your office, or position in our governments! If these deaths were of your children, your family members or your loved ones or friends, would you still accept money from the NRA and gun manufacturers? I doubt it I am sure. So let’s get laws now to stop the sale of any military weapons on our streets or gun period. Let’s make guns on  the streets of America a bygone thing, make them disappear now.  The manufacturers who produce and make these weapons must be forced to sell them to the military only or to law enforcement, not in gun shows or stores. If the changes are not made, I pity the politicians who support the NRA or use their funds in the future, this movement will not stop, these children and teenagers and adults behind  this movement of The March for Lives, will not disappear they will only get louder and keep going on till changes are enacted. These are the future voters in America and it’s greatest Generation is coming to stop all of this!
