Here is my 2 cents worth.....I don't understand those of you who believe it is your God given right to bear arms. How can something which was signed during late 1700's, be relevant to our modern, "civilized," world? We are never going to agree. I read a "regulated militia," etc.....to means a Gov't contingent of warriors organized to protect the citizens. I do not see where it says, an individual has the right to bear arms, but whatever....I don't believe anyone who is resistant to improving availability of obtaining weapons and doesn't want tighter gun control, has something basically wrong with their brain. Further, I think gun nuts lack the common sense it takes to rid the US of our violent gun culture. People who say criminals will get weapons anyway, and that tighter gun laws will not help are really ignorant IMO and are the biggest contributors to our current violence on the streets of America. I defies logic as to why you gun fanatics resist tighter gun controls.....and try to shutdown all of those who would bad mouth those who disagree with you and your precious NRA. Selfishness and greed on the part of politicians comes to mind.
I do sign every petition which comes around re tighter gun control, more background checks, whatever it takes to keep weapons out of the wrong hands. I like to feel that every little thing I do along with those who agree with me, will only lead to a safer World for my children and grandchildren. It will be a grass roots effort on the part of like minded people, but I believe we will prevail as most of us are sick of all this violence. Just maybe, it will influence some of the video games which involve killing others and these will slowly lose their popularity to the mainstream.....Just like Duchess said, we become blase' and insensitive to these mass shootings. I, for one, have had enough......
This country is truly in trouble and if we don't change our gun hugging culture, we will be destroyed by it.....not just by terrorists, but by ourselves.
Write your Congressmen (even though most are are senile and inept) and tell them you are sick of them being in bed with the NRA. There are pre-written letters on the internet, but you will have to put your address and/or email address on any correspondence.
