It's difficult to get into the "season" when we have legislators who
don't seem to care about simple protections for all citizens. Can
someone tell me a good reason why these things were rejected?
The Senate just rejected gun control amendments that would have 1)
expanded background checks for guns purchased online and at gun shows
and 2) prevent individuals on the terror watch list from purchasing
firearms.
Why would anyone not want these things to keep people safe?
It makes no sense to me. Doing nothing is Not the right answer.
- Yes, I know there's a "black market" but why not make it harder to
get these assault weapons? And do hunters really need an AK-15 for deer
hunting? (when did deer start carrying firearms and wearing body armor?)
I am Not talking banning guns - so don't panic, just assault weapons.
In my opinion, anyone who votes for those who oppose making these
assault weapons harder to get, is just as responsible for the death of
all the victims. The children in CT, the San Bernadino office workers,
the Utah college and the other 352 mass murders.
