Our Statement: This Weekends Tragic Shootings

(The American Dossier) The Tally Of Mass Shootings In America Surpassed 250 Over The weekend Editors Note: Not to be cliche we at the American Dossier extend our prayers and condolences to the victims and their families of this weekends shootings in Ohio and Texas. At the same time this should not be a time for politicians regardless of party to finger-point and cast blame. What is needed and (quite often our theme here ) is dialog in regard to legislation regarding both mental health and gun-laws. The true epidemic is that we still ignore and consider mental illness to be taboo. We specifically pray for our leaders to seek guidance from God set aside partisanship and work together to foster healing not only for these specific communities but for our nation.
