America: We are better than this


We must be.



Let's work to be "better than this."

Better than the slaughter of innocents--children--in Connecticut last week.

Better than letting these mass shootings to continue to occur.



Let's end assault weapons.

Let's have a mandatory waiting period--nationwide--for weapons purchases.

Let's have a mandatory background check for mental stability and criminal history.

It's not complicated. And plenty of people will still have guns.

It will be a better--far better--America for all of us.

We need to disarm. My right to life trumps your right to bear arms. The Second Amendment needs to be repealed. This 18th century notion is no longer relevant to modern political reality. Our guns do not keep us free, rather they keep is in a prison of fear. I won't go anywhere near a large city. It isn't safe. My neighbors all have guns, but they have 'real' hunting rifles, not handguns & assault weapons.
