Giffords implores senate to act at hearing on guns

         This article really made me think about reality. Of course this happens in reality but can we find a way to stop it.this article talks about Gabrielle Giffords, who was injured in the Massachusetts shooting in Arizona in 2011. she survived the shooting but has trouble with her speaking.she thought that we have to start doing something about the shooting and killed and many children are dying and people have faced many shootings in the last two years. there was the sandy hook elementary school shooting which killed at least 28 people, including teachers and students.she states      
               “This is an important conversation for our children, for our communities,” Ms. Giffords began. “For Democrats and Republicans. Speaking is difficult, but I need to say something important. Violence is a big problem. Too many children are dying. Too many children. We must do something. It will be hard. But the time is now,” she said, emphasizing the last word. “You must act. Be bold. Be courageous. Americans are counting on you.” With that, Ms. Giffords made her way quietly out of the room.

            What she means by that is that we have really try to make a difference now. When there's an emergency we have to be really. There's no more second thoughts. There's no more what ifs. There is no more "not gonna happen", What if something just happens right out of no where (god forbid) and we are not ready. There is no more hiding. We have to face  reality. Thats what shes saying.

          Guns are a big problem. Guns can get in the hands of the wrong person.it is time to make a change. and to be ready. There was a Phoenix shooting today. And at least seven were injured."About a third of our schools have armed security already-because it works".Her husband stated
                              "When dangerous people get dangerous guns we are all the more vulnerable,”

This article really makes me thinks a lot  reality is this. a dream is guns are not dangerous. This article is amazing.i really have to think more deeply about this.
