The Washington Post reports, Shooters often carried more than one weapon; one was 

found with 24. At least 175 of mass shooters’ weapons were obtained legally and 52 were obtained illegally. It’s unclear how 78 weapons were acquired.

346 Mass Shootings or more have happened this year including, Thousand Oaks, The Las Vegas Strip, Parkland, Santa Fe, The Pittsburgh Synagouge Shooting, The Capitol Gazette, The T&T Truck Mass Shooting, and much more. This is sad, and so hard to hear.  Can’t we just have one year with no shootings at all, we’ll I guess that’s not realistic in this world.

We wake up every day and we get the latest reports on the Mueller Investigation, Trump’s Tweets, Markets, Foreign Policy, National News, World Politics, U.S Poltics, War, Russia, and more.

But, despite all of that. Our President is tweeting every single day 24/7! Non-stop. It’s just ridiculous and embarrassingly sad to this country, and we are represented as a Nation. So Donald Trump, if you want to make a fool of this country, then with all due respect, please resign. 

We need someone that we can look up to at dark time in the nation, someone that doesn’t tell over 6,000 lies, someone that’s highly educated, and someone qualified for the position of President of the United States . But, our generation has already taken on great hardships, when times were dark we stood up. We saw it in Parkland when, 17 people were killed, and those students stood up. That was brave, that was amazing, that was indescribable, outstanding, powerful, and inspiring. 

It’s sad that hate still exists in this evil, harsh, and scary world. But we can stop that, we as a people, a generation,a community, and as a nation under god! We can end hate right now! We can stop school shootings, we can stop public shootings, we can stop church’s and synagogue’s from being a place were you kill people. A church or a Synagogue is suppose to bed a place of worship, sharing prayers with God, and expressing our love for one another. 

And a grocery store is suppose to be the place were you by food and extra products for your family, not get shot. Gas Stations are where we go to get gas and get food, candy, and more products. Not get robbed or shot for some peculiar reason. A school is a place where we come all together as one to learn new things and expand our intelligence, not criticize or demonize it in away that makes our fellow piers uncomfortable.

We as a Nation need to RISE UP, GROW UP, AND STAND UP! Let us stand up for what we believe in not violently but, peacefully, and substantially. Let us choose our words carefully, and note quickly by causing anger or emotion. We do not need to vaporize this beautiful country that we gained so many years ago. When George Washington took the oath instead of being crowned King. Let us not forget our core Democratic Values that this Nation was built on. Let us remember E Plurbis Un Um, “Out of Many one.” Now many of you are probably thinking what the heck does that even mean? We’ll for you teenagers, adults, or kids out their. E Plurbis Un Um , —is a 13-letter traditional motto of the United States, appearing on the Great Seal along with Annuit cœptis and Novus ordo seclorum, and adopted by an Act of Congress in 1782. 

The words “E Plurbis Un Um” are on the Presidential Seal. So Let us not forget, what the U.S was built for, let us not forget that we won the war, and gained our independence from England to form a more perfect, and democratic nation. A Nation that believes in it’s people, A Nation that stand up for one another. And that Nation is “The United States of America.”
