Many gun owners use their weapons only for hunting or target practice. Nothing bad about that, right?
Wrong.
A South Carolina man and his 9-year-old daughter were killed while hunting. They were mistaken for deer.

This sixth-grader shot and killed a teacher, wounded another teacher and five students, then took his own life. He apparently was influenced by a violent video game – but that doesn't explain how he was able to acquire two guns and bring them to school. ¡Qué triste y qué horrible!
An 11-year-old boy in Mexico told his classmates 'today is the day.' Then he opened fire.

July 20, 2012: Twelve are killed and 70 injured in a mass shooting at a theater in Aurora, Colorado. And that brings us to January 11, 2020, just another typical day in the United States of America, where guns outnumber people.

Today is just another typical day in the United States of America, where guns outnumber people. Are these gunmen part of the "well-regulated militia" provided for in the Second Amendment? I'm guessing they are not. Come to think of it, where is our well-regulated militia?

Thousands of gun rights supporters gathered today at the Virginia state capital building in Richmond to protest proposed gun-control legislation. Many carried semi-automatic weapons and sported "Guns save lives" stickers. They ignore the reality that guns also take lives. Case in point:

I wonder if any of the victims were wearing a "Guns save lives" sticker. Hey, maybe the shooter was wearing one. They're just stickers. They don't have to be truthful.

On Election Day 2020, remember which party wants to slow our nation's ever-growing epidemic of gun violence by a series of measures including banning semiautomatic assault-style weapons and high-capacity ammo magazines.....and which party accepts donations from the NRA and refuses to enact – or even propose – any gun control legislation, responding to every mass shooting by offering their meaningless "thoughts and prayers."

Texans love their guns and want no gun-control laws – and Texas has had an unusually high number of mass shootings in the past five years. Coincidence? We can add Texas A&M to the list that includes Dallas, Midland, Odessa, Plano, El Paso, Garland, Waco, Sutherland Springs and White Settlement.

Just another typical Sunday in the United States of America, where guns outnumber people and where Republicans and the NRA march in lockstep to ensure no gun-control legislation is ever passed. For them, the right to own lots of guns and ammunition is sacrosanct and the right to life is not important.
