How many more have to die? How many more of our children have to be murdered with assault weapons before we outlaw them? How many?
There was a mass shooting in Australia in 1996. In two weeks, a law banning semi-automatic weapons, with a buyback, was proposed and quickly passed. There have been no mass shootings there since. Why are they better than we are? Why are they saner than we are, more civilized?
How many more have to die? A million? Would we change the laws after a million deaths? Of course. How about 100,000? Wouldn't we? 10,000? 1,000? Why not now? Why not right now? Why do we have to be the murder capital of the advanced world? Why do we have to have such cowards for legislators?
