So, so tired of mass shootings. Will it ever end?

It's beyond terrifying and ridiculous. Every time there is a huge event or holiday, I find myself worrying what will, or could, happen--and if there will be yet another shooting. I was so glad that we made it through the Super Bowl without shots fired.
''
No one, and I do mean NO ONE, wants to live in fear. We do want to enjoy our lives and get out and about a bit, I totally get that. It's so sad to have to worry about ''will their be guns if I go to this event?''
No one is safe from the gun violence, it happens in small towns and big cities. Something must be done. But what? And who will make it happen???

Sadly, violence almost always leads to more violence. It’s been that way forever. It’s really hard to imagine a good ending to this, and I am not being pessimistic. Just truthful.

So much for “The Land Of The Free “. Maybe we can have it changed to “ Only the lucky survive!”
So, so sad.

I have a sticker that clearty says Democrat on my bumper- and a yellow dog. Last year I was harrassed as I drove into one of our parks- woman honked at me and followed me for a bit as I slowed to go into the parking lot. I plan to go to that park again though I think about the incident even as I figure when to go back.

It’s not safe to put bumper stickers on anymore. Almost a guarantee that the car will be vandalized in some way.

I understand.
One of my friends said her granddaughter put a pride sticker on her car. That night, someone broke her car windows.

It's sad to think when you are trying to live life .Yesterday, my husband and I went to a live music concert. It was so crowded with people. I thought through out the event how a mass shootings could easily happen there. I and others should not have to think these things.

I know exactly what you mean. A person cannot help but think these things now.

That is a very good question. Now that the warmer weather is returning I realize I should get out at least twice a week, Go walking, see the ocean and so on however, It is hard to stimulate me because of what is happening in the world and I feel that if I am so comfortable in my apartment with my luck as soon as I step out my anxiety will take a spiraling hike upward.

Well, I still have to get out and about. I try to be very proactive and aware, but this is way past ridiculous.

It is a shame that the real life version of the movie "Night Hawks" which came out in 1981 which was about a terrorist killing people in New York City who wanted to be known as the greatest terrorist of all time is going on now.

We have had so many horrible incidents in the 40+ years since then.

It is terrifying. Innocent people just out enjoying their day and their lives are taken from them in a blink of an eye.
