Where has the competency of the United States Congress gone?
What came to mind this morning, as I stood outside and looked up at the sky was the photo of that young, 3 year old Syrian-Kurd child, washed up on a Turkish beach. That horror of what humanity is capable of touched many of us. But not all of us! Why is that some turn away and ignore once the media has slipped in to the next story? It's no different than Sandy Hook...The Pulse... next mass murder...
Why is it that the little children of Sandy Hook has been abandoned by many American hearts, and the United States Congress ability to make a call-to-action? There is a long list of mass murders thanks to military-style assault weapons, and Congress -- And now it has become a numbers-killed game. What is worse, 49, 59, 28, 8? Who gets the brass ring for the most killed and injured? It has become an American game of wait & see who gets it next. We need action for these victims and future victims. Now is not the time for silence.
How do the photographs and videos of the latest United States Massacre of innocent people in Las Vegas attending a concert affect you? What are you going to do about it? Weep, then turn your back on this present PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS?
Do you have to personally know someone murdered to make you call to action the United States Congress to ban military assault type weapons?
Do you not want to reduce the death count of the next person/s who may target your family and friends in the future? We all want to reduce cancer deaths, why not this means of death?
Yes, the idiotic statement that criminals will have guns is overused, and rings hollow to those who have lost their loved ones to murder.
But give this a try: Think beyond the NRA rhetoric and accept that military assault weapons, as oppose to rifles, shotguns, handguns, will kill and injure hundreds of people in mere seconds and minutes.
Guns will be had and used, but can you not see your way to eliminating the mass murders of innocent people by pushing Congress to ban military style assault weapons?
Don't become indifferent as each assault weapon, in the hands of anyone, murders and injures hundreds. Write your representative and think about who you are voting in to a world of lobbyist in 2018 and in the future.
WE MUST ALL ADDRESS THIS MOST HORRIBLE PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS! It is a plague in America. We need to eradicate it, now. Congress must be held accountable for these murders and injuries. They have placed military-style assault weapons in these killers hands.
BAN MILITARY STYLE ASSAULT WEAPONS. LET's bring down the body count. Surely, all want that, right?
