Broken record


We have seen this movie too many times. A mass murder with a gun or guns. Hopes and prayers. Calls for action. Talk and talk. No action.

Trump starts to talk gun control, and then talks with right wing folks and NRA. Trump backtracks and opposes gun control. Been there, seen before.

The solution? Get rid of Trump and GOP control of the Senate.

California has some strict gun laws, but Nevada a short distance away by car does not. The problem cannot be solved by one state's laws when the internet is national and international.

The U.S. has more guns than people. No wonder guns are used for suicide, crimes, and accidents to injure and kill. People kill people easily with easy access to guns. Try to kill hundreds quickly and easily with a knife... You may kill a few, but then you are stopped.

People think guns can protect them from bad guys. Much more often guns are use to harm oneself or a family member. Owning a gun is like owning a pet cobra. You never know when it will bite you. Then you are dead or in critical condition. Yet people seek out and for the pleasure of risking their lives. We are so dumb, so often, it is tragic and foolish.

Foolish humans get mad or crazy and shoot people they love, or people they hate, or just random people. Without the gun or rifle no one gets shot. We need fewer guns and tighter access to ammo, and smaller capacity magazines.

There will be no meaningful gun control with Trump and the GOP. Vote for Dems. The life you save may be your own or someone you love.

There are lots of reasons to dump Trump in 2020, but his inaction on guns is good enough for me.

Guns are not hammers, they are used to kill more than 40,000 people a year in the U.S. They are a leading cause of death of children in the U.S. Fewer guns and more control over them is clearly needed to lessen the carnage.
