Following what happened yesterday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas School, in the city of Parkland, in the state of Florida, United States.
On this day I bring you an analysis of a situation that is worrisome. We the Spanish-speaking ones ask ourselves the following question: BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES SELLS FIREARMS WITHOUT A STRICT CONTROL?
If we review the past, we realize that since the time of the Wild West, where the cowboys carried weapons for the defense of their lands and their families of the outlaws, this issue is something cultural in this country. It is no secret to anyone that in some states of the country, especially on the western side, anyone can, not only carry a firearm, but also buy it legally.
This is because it is part of their culture, something rooted in everyone who is born and lives in this country. Either with the intention of protecting their families and property, as in the Far West, or to cause harm to their neighbors. Nobody can know the intentions that are in the conscience of a simple boy or girl who requests the purchase of this artifact. And at the same time it is known that there are groups, clubs, lodges, etc., that are totally involved in the political sphere of the country, which in one way or another finance congressmen, parliamentarians and local authorities and of course they influence the taking of decisions regarding the laws that restrict the purchase and carrying of weapons.
However, we are simple observers of this situation. Since last year there have been 18 attacks in American schools. And we see that no measures are taken or changes are made to stop these events. But it lies, mainly, in the power that these armed groups have in influential positions within the political sphere. That if the law changes were approved in the States involved, these same groups would be affected by such legal reforms.
It is sad to see both scenarios, both the child who can not feel safe in his school, as the child aggressor. How life can change families on both sides (so to speak). A loved one that is no longer there, the physical absence of a piece of the heart of the members of a family group and the temporary absence and destruction of a life behind bars, which could be, a citizen who brought great value to the family environment and the society. Now destined to public embarrassment and shame
We only have to ask GOD to give strength to all the relatives involved in the events. Because nobody is secret the great pain that represents the loss of a family member in these circumstances. Because if not all of us have lived, most of us have lost a family member due to illness or because the time of his call with the Lord has come. And we have experienced the pain it causes.
Until next post my dear friends of STEEMIT.
