Another mass shooting occurred yesterday in Nashville. Each one destroys countless lives, and inflicts misery and pain on every person it touches. This is a great evil of our time in America. It is intolerable, yet our elected officials tolerate it.
What more can be said? I’ve done my best to talk about the latest tragedy, and about what we need to do next.
It is not about the right to own a gun anymore. It is about the right to be judge, jury, and executioner. It is about the right to murder without the encumbrance of due process. True gun owners would want to protect their guns with background checks and safety laws. This is legal mayhem and should not be tolerated.
Thank you Steve for continuing to keep this story out in front of Republicans. We need to shame them into actions. Thoughts and prayers are no longer acceptable. We need national gun reform. Republicans can no longer hide behind the 2nd amendment. We need to keep the pressure on Congress to finally do their job and stop offering up our children as targets downrange. It is no longer acceptable to wear a AR15 lapel pin. They should be forced to wear bloody photos of all the child victims of gun violence around their necks until they give us meaningful gun legislation.
