Not AK-15 or-AK- 47: Weapons of Mass Destruction: Aka Gun Violence.

GMW, The 2nd amendments to the United States Constitution protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms, was adopted on December 15, 1791, as part of the first ten amendments contained in the Bill of rights. The weapons of 1791 states,” a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

The 2nd amendment only applied to muskets.

The AK-47 is an assault rifle designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov in the Soviet Union in the 1940s, while the AR-15 is an assault rifle designed by Eugene Stoner in the U.S. in the 1950s. A difference of one-hundred-forty-nine years (149) later.

GMW (grandmothers, mothers and women) The AR15 -AK47’s are Assault Weapons of the 21st Century, how is it they are protected by the 2nd amendment rights.

GMW, we are no longer asking why we are losing so many of our babies and adults to the violence of gun in general, and Assaults weapons, AR15 and AK47s.’

 

GMW, we are not helpless nor powerless, and we all have access to the same power: Our God, Our Love, Our Dollars and Our Vote. If we don’t use it, we lose it at our children’s expense. Ladies we make a difference at the polls. and in our homes. with influence that’s immeasurable; The Gun Violence among our youth and Teens is out of control.

A total of 468 seats in the U.S. Congress (33 Senate seats and all 435 House seats) are up for regular election on November 5, 2024. One^[1] Senate seat is also up for a special election.

We have an opportunity to send 468 New Politicians to Washington, who will do what we want. We need Better Economic Opportunities in the most effected by violence, gun and prison reforms. Ahead of the elections, Republicans hold a majority in the U.S. House, while Democrats and independents who caucus with Democrats hold a majority in the U.S. Senate.

The GOP solution is guns don’t kill, People Kill. If that the case,” Then we need Conflict Resolution as a mandatory course in our schools K-12 .

Congress can longer represent us partisanly. We need Bipartisan Congressional Leadership with principles, integrity, decency, and values.

The universe has moved in our favor, It has opened up seats in both branches. So young generation, here’s your change to run for office and do all the things you feel have not been done to make things better for your generation. Plus, its your future.

The sleeping giants,” voters who stay home and not let their vote speak for them; Its going to count, but not in your favor. “Our power can speak for us from now on, if we’re serious enough to use it.

Their contributions to each other, is self evident, in affected neighborhoods.

We all know, “The root causes behind gun violence and high crime, ‘Is, income inequality, concentrated poverty, underfunded public housing, under-resourced public services, and underperforming schools, are all conditions that tend to increase the likelihood of gun violence  and crimes within a given community. 

It’s time these above major issues, “Are on all campaigning candidates agendas and platform. November 2024th, requires our votes. And it’s time we put a price on it!

Gun violence and crime in America has an economic consequence to our nation, totaling “$557 billion dollars.†Can you imagine the positive impact those dollars would have on low-income, low-credit score communities.

According to EveryTown USA, As survivors, families, communities, employers, and taxpayers, all pay for the enormous costs associated with gun violence specifically, and violence in general, whether we own a gun or not. The daily toll is staggering: 

Higher levels of crime and gun violence are also associated with lower home values, credit scores, and homeownership rates. As a result, gun violence hurts a community’s housing prices and drives residents to relocate from or avoid moving to affected neighborhoods.

Increasing policing, is not going to solve the violence problem. But, policies and programs that addresses community Gun Violence and High Crimes, are essential to tackle the public health epidemic of gun violence and crime in the United States and, promote health equity.

GMW, (Grandmothers, Mothers and Women ) knows grassroots solutions must begin with working to change beliefs, attitudes, values, and actions that promote violence.

This will require a comprehensive coordinated efforts on the part of the Village: Parents, guardians, schools, faith and community-based organizations, social service providers and reformed x-offenders, mayors, city councils, judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and crime victims are all critical to reducing violence in our communities.

Now Lord, HERE’S THE TALK! Please Teach Us To, “WALK THE WALK,†In Jesus Name. AMEN!!!

In The Arena Of Virginia’s Politics.

I apologize for sending our the link, “who is my legislator;†because of redistricting the information is no longer accurate. I think it’s intentional.

So Virginians, vote the DEM ticket, because redistricting has created some challenges, that I got tired trying to figure out so, I just voted my Democratic ticket. 

Grandmothers, Mothers and Women (GMW) in Virginia. The country is watching us this November 2023.

All eyes are on Hampton Roads and Virginia Beach as Republicans try to claw back Democratic gains in the state. 

The GOP is encouraging early voting this year, hoping to win majorities, so they can get-rid of early and mail-in-voting by next year.

With Great Examples By The- GOP-MEGA Dysfunction of Ron DeSantis’s MEGA agenda in Fl.,  Kevin McCarthy’s fail  majority leadership in the House of Representatives, the dysfunction of our Supreme Court and the behavior and convictions of the leading GOP candidate for the 2024 presidential election.

A conservative General assembly is not good for Virginia or America. They are proving to be obstructionists for almost everything that Benefits the American people. We feel: Integrity, principles, values, decency, and common sense has to prevail. Our governing houses of power, the Supreme Court, The oval office, the legislative branches, to the local city council, school boards, and civic leagues. We need honest accountability.

We have a choice of banning Books or assault weapons-AK-47.  Also, our governor believes parents have the right to decided life choices for their children; but why don’t I have the right to decide what books  my children or I choose to read or not. hypocrisy!!!

Virginia, remaining the only Southern state without a GOP abortion ban, because of our Senate majority blocking it.

Also Knowing that Virginia is supporting and being apart of climate-change initiatives.

We can turn our General Assembly Blue, or we can stay-home and allow the MAGA GOP policies to prevail. 

By giving Governor Youngkin, a chance to fulfill his promise of enacting a 15-week abortion ban. a broader roll back of climate change policies, plus, ban more books, not Guns, and, forget about sensible gun laws.

To all GMW in particular, and all Virginians in general, look at our country! and vote your  morals, and let God judge the motive of your vote. JUST VOTE

GMW, “This is our prayer in Jesus name. Amen.

 

To My Grands, All Children, Their Teachers and all School Personnel Just Knows You Are…

Protected By Gods: Light, Love,Power and Presence.

Father, I pray that each of their strength comes from You, and that You give them the courage to face any obstacle they may face at school. I pray they know to come to you with their fears and anxiety and to trust you to watch over them and guide them throughout the day.

Along with reading, writing and arithmetic, kids have far more to contend with than ever before. Threats of violence and school shootings, bullying and hostility, pressure and stress, are all very real and present in their lives.

It’s more important now than ever before to cover our children in prayer. As they prepare for a year of learning, we can help them and their teachers, by praying for their safety, protection, encouragement, and wisdom.

Don’t give the devil the satisfaction of taking you on without a fight. Put on the whole armor of God—do it by faith—and go take your victory!

You have to know your enemy. Your battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world. You need God’s Full Armor: 

So, put on the belt of truth, The breath plate of righteousness, The Helmet of salvation and then pick up sword of the Spirit and the shield of faith, and stand firm. It’s a guaranteed and unbeatable strategy. 

ðŸ™ðŸ¿ The Lord will keep you from all harm; he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.†Psalm 121:7-8ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ¿ðŸ™
