Two people see a marquee advertising "Misison: Impossible Rogue Nation." Man: New Tom Cruise movie? Woman: No... it's a film about congress passing meaningful gun laws!
Again, I am not a “more guns” advocate, nor a member of the NRA, but more laws to tighten up the supply of guns is still only a Band-Aid solution to our national problem. The ways in which many of us live; in isolation, dis-connected, lacking a firm set of morals by poor (or non-existent) parenting, lacking education, excessive violence in our “entertainment”, job insecurity, watching our social/political/economic system push us down while a non-responsive government allies itself with the ultra-wealthy. Fear, loss of hope. The choice to pick up a gun, or a knife, or anything to strike out with, often seems to be the only thing left to some. .Are we a society, a nation of PEOPLE, or FOR-PROFIT CORPORATIONS?
