Surely You Have Also Noticed

How many more shootings there are...and in more neighborhoods; and with more shots fired, and with more innocent bystanders killed or wounded?

 

So, are you going to continue to say it won’t happen here, or to me...until the bullet labeled “To Whom It May Concern” arrives? 

 

Doesn’t  that tragic Texas church shooting freeze the blood in you?

 

Please, don’t give up for there are things that we can do. There is even a small, bi-partisan movement in the Senate to make some changes.

 

Without going into a 2nd Amendment debate, isn’t there some minimum steps we can agree on: such as:

 

Close the gun show loopholes, which isn’t fair to local gun store owners.

 

Mentally impaired people should not be allowed to buy such weapons. And the national registry for such people must be made fool proof. It wasn’t in the Texas case. Ditto convicted felons, those on the terrorist watch list, etc.

 

Statistics on shooting incidents must be collected; they aren’t now. So those on all sides of this argument can have facts, not opinions.

 

But, bottom line, get rid of the old argument which isn’t true that "guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” It takes both.

 

Then we can come up with practical, non- 2nd amendment views that put BOTH guns and people into our discussions and come up with common sense answers to stop this bloody, senseless, “job-killing” carnage.

 

I'm just sayin'...
