As I write this now my heart goes out to the parents and families of those killed so mercilessly in Connecticut yesterday. Such a tragic and brutal waste of beautiful lives; such sorrow to consume so many hearts and homes this Christmas and for years to come.
It also makes me angry.
Angry because I know this will not be the last tragic slaughter of innocent lives at the hands of enraged and often delusional people. Angry because there are so many people in the USA where I lived for over a decade until earlier this year whom are so unwilling to face the brutal reality of US gun laws.
Did you know that Americans are 32 times more likely to die from gun death than Australians? Scary isn’t it.
