We all pay attention to the news. How many times have you heard of a gun owner thwarting a robbery or saving the lives of others in a home invasion or on the streets. Me, not many. How many times have you heard of a gun-related mass murder, a murder-suicide, a suicide, a child killed playing with a loaded gun? Me, lots.
Yet, this does not seem to weigh on the consciences of our legislators as they climb into the pockets of the NRA to fill their own pockets. For all the times they invoke the "American people," this is one issue in which they staunchly ignore the American people.
The banner of the Second Amendment goes up, and before we know it, guns are allowed on the streets, in churches, in bars, in schools, in the State Capitol. Even the Supreme Court opens the floodgates by conveniently ignoring the militia clause in its recent ruling.
No other industrialized country tolerates this insanity or experiences these massive numbers of gun deaths. Have we not left the era of the Wild West, vigilantes, lynch mobs and murder in the streets?
Sick America.
