Christmas, Church, and Mall Shootings

Sunday, a mega church in Colorado Springs and a Christian missionary center near Denver were places of a deranged gunman. If these related incidents, police are still investigating.

Earlier this month, a mall in Omaha was the site of a youth taking out frustration and anger with a gun. Last February we saw another mall fall victim of a crazed shooter. There are many more that are not in the media's spot light.

Is this becoming more of a problem than we would like to think?

What is the cause? GUNS! I think not. It is the people who holding those guns and pointing them a innocent people.

Look a the background of these gunmen. They all seem to have a common thread. The inability to cope in current life conditions. Instead of seeking help. Instead of turning the gun on themselves, they lash out at those around them.

Maybe we should take a look around us. Find those who are getting close to the profile of these gunman. Then give them a Christmas gift of caring.

It could be as little as a Christmas Card or as much as becoming a friend. And only as a last resort report them to the police. For the mere protection of those around us.
