If they would only do Something.

Last week in Florida 17 innocent people died in another school shooting that could have possibly been avoided.

Some of you will disagree with what I'm about to say.  However, I have the right to say it.  If you don't want to continue reading, then don't.

Admittedly, I haven't read a lot about this incident.  I don't need to, as long as I know that 17 people are dead that could be alive today if this wouldn't have happened.  I am in favor of stricter gun control laws, and those could be enacted in this country if Congress and the President would just do so.  If just one of those laws saved one life in this land it would be worth it.  That one life could be a friend or relative of you or I.

The argument from the gun activists that I don't understand is that they think one more law will take away their Second Amendment right to own a gun.  It won't.  But if that law is what is required to keep guns out of the hands of anyone who isn't fit to have one [like the shooter in Florida], then I'm in favor of it.  Doing nothing is not an option.  Doing nothing will not stop the gun violence.  Congress and the President need to act and act decisively.  But they won't.

Don't @ me.
