Unfortunately, I have no answer to the question. I thought I'd more or less given up after the Newtown shooting.

I remember my husband and I just sat in all that weekend, too depressed to even bother pursuing the plans we had.

We said, "Well, if they don't pass legislation after THIS, they never will"

and of course, they haven't, which is why we're considering leaving the country

as a last, angry, desperate act -- It's not so much that we personally fear being victims,

it's just that our hearts break when we see so many dying for absolutely

NOTHING other than the moral bankruptcy of the PTB in this country.

Part of me has a tiny bit of hope that the country's reached a tipping point --

-- I'm getting the sense that this last shooting is REALLY pissing people off, but

then again, I've thought that before. I'm out of ideas, seriously
