Enough already; regulate guns
Almost daily, I awaken to the soul-numbing sameness of a new horror: Another hate-drenched madman has used legally purchased weapons of mass destruction to slaughter innocent people.
This must stop. Now. No more inane, hypocritical prayers by Republican lawmakers too cowardly to support any regulation of Second Amendment rights. We must begin to protect the rights of all to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Universal background checks, red-flag laws, and an assault weapons ban accompanied by a buy-back program would be a good start.
We are rightly zealous to protect the unborn from abortion. We seem equally zealous to remove all protection from children after they are born, with too many suffering the unspeakable terrors of going to the mall on the wrong day. Why?
