Amen, Sister Hair!
If we listened to all of the naysayers, no positive changes are ever made and, as a society, we remain stagnant and powerless. Thank goodness, for forward thinkers, and who want to make our world safer and more peaceful for all of us. Do we really want a reputation as a violent, gun slinging society.
Those of you who are responsible gun owners, need to join the fight to make it more difficult to get that gun. Your arguments re children dying from gun "accidents" every day, are not valid when you try to use analogies which just don't apply to the issue being discussed on this thread.......
Making it more difficult to obtain a gun, does reduce gun violence according to documented studies. I know many children would still be alive today who died because they found a loaded gun. Every documentary shown on the major TV networks, concerning small children picking up guns, when told not to, do pick them up, and point them at someone, and pull the trigger, much to the amazement of their parents who are watching from another room.
We are not discussing, auto accidents, physical abuse, beatings, abortion, etc.......GUNS on this here thread......
