Guns, shootings and loss seem to be everpresent in media headlines, so what can we do?
I think everyone has a reaction to the event that occurred in Tucson, Arizona on January 8, 2011. Twenty -two year old Jared Loughner shot 19 people, six fatally! His actions prematurely took lives, shook the nation and caused government to pause and take notice. I’ve bore witness to a range of emotions – disbelief, anger, horror, hate, shame and even forgiveness. And some want to exact revenge, a scary notion. But what should we do?
The bleak tale of a real shotgun wedding gone wrong.
While the concept of a shotgun wedding has been around since, well, before shotguns were invented, rarely do the firearms ever actually show up at the wedding. And for good reason, though guns don't kill people, excitable people with guns do. A couple in Sicily ended up having their wedding day turned upside down with a firearm mishap.

Describing her as "extremely distraught," Parker's court-appointed attorney, Murray Newman, explained to the Houston Chronicle that: "She loves him, and this is just a terrible accident."
Steve McNair reportedly promised mistress he would marry her.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's second wedding turns into a different kind of photo shoot.
Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady's second wedding occurred this past weekend on the bride's home field, near her oceanfront house in Costa Rica. While the first meeting (wedding) between the bride and groom was not necessarily a defensive struggle, the second matchup (the couple's second wedding ceremony) definitely turned into a shootout. The bodyguards and security that were hired to keep the paparazzi off the property at first chased two trespassers away before turning to the always reliable alternative of shooting at them.

"Gun issues can be difficult issues to bridge when two people are on opposite sides, and by providing a community where everyone is on the same side, Gun Lovers Passions hopes to make it easier for members to make new friends and maybe even find a little romance. Presumably, it is a little easier to break the ice when two people share something in common, whether that be an appreciation for a specific type of handgun, or the shared commitment to the support of the 2nd Amendment and Pro Gun Rights."
