WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

Responsible?

Too many gun deaths in our country every day.  Far too often children are the victims.  Accidents mostly.  A weapon in the from their own household.  The NRA would have us believe that every gun owner is a "responsible gun owner" which obviously is not the case.  A young woman attemps a prank on her friend, jumps out of a closet,  and is shot dead.  A five-year old shoots a two-year-old.  Guns are found on school playgrounds, in elementary schoolers' backpacks, etc. I could paper this blog with recent gun "incidents.  The word incident sound so—incidental, you know?   The lives that are lost or altered forever are not incidental.  Neither is the love of those grieving for them.  There are far too many careless gun owners; that's all there is to it.  We can't turn a blind eye to this reality.  We just can't.

 

Time to unite with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.  Good people working hard for positive change.  Have you joined your state chapter? What are you waiting for? http://momsdemandaction.org/join-us/
