I have major permanent damage from an assault by an insane gun owner and we are glad that the first amendment protects us and it is because of it that we can express ourselves. We also understand very well that the second amendment is as important and should not be infringed. Our lawmakers have to procure serious strategies to prevent innocent people to be hurt. Repetitive failures to protect innocent human lives and to protect people against assaults are immoral and unacceptable.

My family and I thank the organizers of the MMM for letting our voices be heard. We are thankful to all the people who came the MMM march for their support. We thank also photographer Robert Drea, and writer Stephanie Arena of woundedinamerica.org for the article on Irene; God Bless You All For Your Support!
