No obvious answers, just to many broken hearts!

I get the whole free-agency thing. For the most part, I believe free will is one of Gods most precious gifts to us as his children. But, I have to say, that I quite often wish that it had come with the stipulation that one's free will couldn't be exercised at the expense of someone else. And especially with children. As most of the nation has, I have spent the last few days in shock and disbelief at the recent tragedy in Connecticut where a deranged gunman viciously murdered 20 innocent children before cowardly taking his own life. About half way through my shift at work last night, after hearing more and more updated info on the attack through various avenues, I began to feel very gloomy. By the end of my twelve hour shift, I was in full blown depression mode. Watching one news program, I was especially impacted by a particular photo the showed of one of the victims. A sweet, beautiful little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. I was just struck by how much I thought she looked like my own sweet daughter at the same age. I'll be honest. When something like this happens, when innocent children are involved, it tends to shake my faith. It's so easy to ask "why would a loving Father in Heaven allow such a horrible thing to happen?" It's so easy to feel angry. Twenty children won't be here Christmas morning to open their gifts. Twenty children will never graduate high school, college, get married, have their own babies and grow old. Such a tragedy. I know those children aren't suffering. TI honestly believe every one of them were greeted by a loving smile and embrace from a Father in Heaven who love us all in a way we will never comprehend. It's those left behind that suffer those losses. Left to wonder why. Left to wonder if it will ever make any sense. Those are the ones I grieve for. Over the course of the week, I have seen so much anger. And everybody wants, even needs, something or someone to blame. Shall we blame the politicians for not cracking down on gun control, making guns harder to obtain, or even outright illegal? Should we blame gun owners and activists themselves for insisting it's their right to have and bare arms? Personally, I hold the media largely responsible for sensationalizing the people who commit these horrendous acts, consequently giving these murderous nut jobs celebrity status. Do we blame God for "allowing" these things to happen? And if so, if we ban guns, should we not also ban free will? Anyone who knows me knows where I stand on the issue. I'm not going to rant on about my personal beliefs. All the arguing, debating and finger-pointing is of no importance. All that matters is twenty children are gone. The world will never know what they may have grown up to do or become. The potential greatness their sweet, innocent lives each held. That is the real tragedy.
