From the article:

 

The fundamental reason kids are dying in massacres like this one is not that we have lunatics or criminals — all countries have them — but that we suffer from a political failure to regulate guns.

Children ages 5 to 14 in America are 13 times as likely to be murdered with guns as children in other industrialized countries, according to David Hemenway, a public health specialist at Harvard who has written an excellent book on gun violence.

 

So let’s treat firearms rationally as the center of a public health crisis that claims one life every 20 minutes. The United States realistically isn’t going to ban guns, but we can take steps to reduce the carnage.

Take people and constantly tell them they are being mistreated and being "shortchanged" by others who have "more stuff", and nothing is their fault, it's everyone else's fault, and they deserve "stuff"' and they don't have to answer for the things they do or be a responsible human being-then wonder why we have these shootings? Really?

When dems are wrong about something, which is all the time about everything, they won't man up and admit it and work to fix it correctly. Their method is to "fix it 'til it's more broken", throwing more money down the rabbit hole, taking away the rights of legal citizens while catering to illegals and other foreigners, encouraging by their inaction, fraud and waste in the social programs, and refusing to address the fraud and waste properly and work to stop it, and blaming everyone and everything except the ones/things that should be blamed. 10 years ago I never imagined despising a group of people like I do the rotten, anti-American, bent on destruction of the country, dems of today.

Let's blame the NRA for its opposition to sensible and constitutional measures described in this thoughtful article, which would greatly assist law enforcement agencies in bringing to justice those who use firearms to commit crimes.

Let's not, since that is all BS. Let's blame people like you that don't want criminals to do any prison time for their crimes.

Perhaps that is because 10 years ago your mind was not contaminated with the sour, adamantine, inflexible delusion that you and your opinions are somehow so sacrocanct that anyone who disagrees with you is some kind of evil devil.

Comment under the article:

 

With all his “gun control” talk I haven’t heard him or one other gun control advocate  say how they plan to take guns away from criminals, just law abiding citizens.
We are also advised NOT to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few
lunatics, BUT we ARE encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.
Funny how that all works….
