Gun Control for Javon Belcher?

Gun Control for Javon Belcher?

The news has been spreading the story of Javon Belcher, the linebacker for the Kansas City, Chiefs who shot and killed his girlfriend and babymama, Kassandra Perkins. After he committed this act of murder he proceeded to the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, where he found his coach and general manager thanked them for their support of him and committed suicide. Now, their three-month old beautiful daughter is without a mom and dad and the media is crying gun control. EXCUSE me but I believe there is more to this story than just gun control. As an NFL player he was allowed to purchase firearms just as any other law-biding citizen. Friends of Kassandra said the couple often visited the gun ranches for recreational fun. While they had arguments just like any other couple many are baffled as to why these two acts occurred. But, to push gun control as the sub-line I feel the issue has morphed into a new playing field for others to harp on a different tune. Using this tragedy for political gain rather than awareness into deeper issues that should be addressed is how society gets off track. Speaking of gun control now is in my opinion simply too late. The main focus should have been their daughter. What is she to do? So young, she is and left without the two most important role models in a child’s life. Whether it be determined that he suffers from head injuries as his profession consistently endures or that he was mentally ill, or even if Kassandra’s club appearance sparked this tragedy the concern still should lie with the child who has been left behind. I’ll say it NOW, THANK GOD, he sparred her. So often times the children are also caught in these webs of murder but this too should be examined. He did NOT harm his child. So, now what programs are available for her in Kansas City? Will she still be afforded the opportunities of a successful life with these two individuals replaced back into the earth? YES, it’s possible but it’s going to take more than a platform about gun control and brain injuries to keep this yes at a YES! What support groups will be available when she is old enough to comprehend this act of violence? Who will stand with her and fight for her to understand that she is still loved no matter what has happened because true love comes from within yourself and through God. I pray for her heart, her understanding and her faith in God to grow as she does. No one should have to endure such struggles but this is LIFE and we made it this way! Now what are we going to do to begin fixing it. The generations beneath us will guide this world so we MUST begin training up our children in the way that they must go and pray they NEVER depart from it. Will you stand? I am already standing!
