Now we add Las Vegas, too, to the long, long list of cities and towns across the nation that's experienced more needless, avoidable gun and weapons violence and tragedy.
Please, contact your representatives in Congress. All three of them, your 2 Senators and one member of the House of Representatives. Tell them we need the following, at least.
--Background checks, required, for weapons purchases for criminal history, nationwide
--Background checks, again, required for weapons purchases for mental stability
--An assault weapons ban. Again. We did it once, we could do it again. There is no reason assault weapons are available and on our streets in this nation
--Passing an assault rifle ban
--A high capacity magazine ban
--Taxing ammunition
--Banning convicted domestic violence perpetrators from owning or purchasing firearms for 5 years
--Not allowing people on the "NO FLY" list to purchase guns
--Instituting a gun buy-back program that would pay people to give up their current assault rifles.
And I get it. We won't. But we should.
At any rate, please, please do, again, contact your representatives in Congress. Tell them the time has come. Americans need to stop dying, and on our streets. These deaths and tragedies are avoidable. Completely avoidable.
