Honeoye Falls, NY –(Ammoland.com)- It’s the end of the year, the weather has been freezing all over the country, and we’re still catching up from last month’s sales promotions.

Despite the cold weather, several events have managed to get our blood to boil.

Right here in Texas, a spoiled teen gets out of any jail time after killing 4 during a drunk driving incident because his well-off family never taught him that criminal actions have consequences.

In Colorado, another school shooting. According to the Denver Post, the shooter described himself on facebook as “Keynesian” who was against gun violence and had anti-Republican views. He legally purchased a shotgun and ammunition and openly carried it and several molotov cocktails into his school seeking revenge against a debate-team instructor, asking several students along the way where she could be found.

While an innocent 17 year old was shot, things could have been much worse. No assault weapons ban, or high capacity magazine ban would have prevented this event from happening. A shotgun, glass bottles, flammable liquids and a lighter are within reach of most. The intent to harm another would exist in this case regardless of the weapon of choice.

While many details are still to be released, the quick response of one individual with a firearm ended this tragedy before any more were injured. Why did others not stop him before he got a shot off remains to be seen. Various reports claim that he was seen openly carrying a slung shotgun and even asking about the whereabouts of his intended victim.

Innocent lives were lost, and our hearts go out to the families of the victims. Also, this month we lost one of our members- Jeffry Bryan Reed, 45, lost his bitter eight-month battle with Burkitt’s lymphoma on Sunday, Dec. 8, 2013, at a hospice in Fort Worth. It started with a simple request for a shoulder to cry on, but his thread touched us all, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family. RIP Jeff.

As this year comes to a close and we enjoy time with our families and loved ones, remember our service men and women who cannot be with their families, and those that have given there lives so the rest of us can.

Next month is SHOT Show. Until then, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year to all.
