"...One Torch I'm Grateful to Pass..."

Blessed today to have five grandchildren between the ages of one and fourteen who will wake up tomorrow morning and go about the business of growing up and living their lives.

Blessed today to have to not be the member of the family who might be asked to explain to any or all of those grandchildren if and, predictably, when one of them wants to know why a twenty year old kid killed twenty six and seven year old kids.

And blessed today to not have to explain to any or all of those grandchildren what, exactly, an assault weapon is and why a twenty year old kid had one.

In time, they will learn why.

It's called the Second Amendment.
