A Prayer


Several years ago in 2000 after


the Columbine masacre when


Charlton Heston was president


of the NRA, he gave a speech


to the members claiming


(and here I’ll paraphrase him):


They (the governmemt) would


have to pry his gun from his cold


dead hands. Well, fatefully


Heston is dead now. Unfortu-


nately, thousands of innocent


unarmed people (including


children) have been victims


of gun violence preceding and


following him to the grave.


I wish that I believed in a just


and reputed God. I would pray


that Heston and his kind be


damned to hell for complicity


to the heinous slaughter.


And for Governor Abbott, Senator


Ted Cruz of Texas and the like,


I’d pray for the same. Not to be


offended, dear reader, apparently


God has “better things” to do than


act on a plea for the innocents


from me.
