The photograph of little Sasha Graves weeping as she refuses to fire a rifle is haunting. It is absurd that “nearly 200 assault-weapon enthusiasts” would participate in a shooting competition to raise funds for Sasha and her two sisters whose mother was killed in a drive-by shooting.
That this group (Gun Owners REACT Committee) would use the guise of a benefit for these orphaned children to promote gun ownership is appalling. Has the world gone mad?
