Do you know what we need instead of, or in addition to, “thoughts and prayers”? We need legislative action.
There has to be a way to resolve the conflict between staunch Second Amendment supporters and those who want to protect our children in their schools, our worshippers in their synagogues, our audiences at large gatherings.
For many years, there was a virtual ban on assault rifles and high-capacity magazines. During those years, the frequency of mass shooting incidents decreased. Recently, with the intentional overturning of those bans, the number of mass shooting incidents has increased dramatically.
Hunters don’t need assault rifles and high-capacity magazines. Or, if they do, they are not really good hunters. People protecting their property don’t need assault rifles and high-capacity magazines, unless they live over Fort Knox.
You know who does? White supremacists and those who have sinister designs on our government.
This is a Right to Life issue.
Can we support this?
Anthony S. Ercolano, D.Min.
