Do You Oppose Gun Violence?

Do you oppose gun violence?

When we do nothing, it suggests we condone the senseless mass shootings.  Each of us needs to stand up to the NRA and to our do-nothing congress. 

If our Founding Fathers had any idea that technology would take guns far beyond our emotional intelligence, I’m sure they would have worded the 2nd amendment a bit differently.

NRA, where is your conscience?  How do you sleep?  

Assault rifles of any kind do not belong in a civilized society.  Look at other first world countries to see that it can happen.

It’s my opinion that congress needs to do more than increase background checks.  It needs to eliminate all assault weapons in the US.  I know it’s a dream. The dream is the first step.  Accomplishing that dream requires action. It can only come true if we stand up to this notion that we can have any gun we want.  The mass killing machines have no place in our society.  Let our gun toting friends have any type of gun that was made before 1850.  Aaron Burr did fine with such a weapon.

If only the NRA would use their money to buy back all assault weapons instead of buying congress. If only gun manufacturers would find something more peaceful to manufacture. If only Congress would not take the "support" (money)

As a wise person suggested, send all assault rifles to Ukrainian soldiers. They have a better chance of doing some good.  Then melt them down into a world peace sculpture.
