GUN VIOLENCE: Elected officials should take it seriously

| July 21, 2024 1:00 AM

Does anyone else find it disturbing that all our politicians are up in arms about there being no place in politics for violence? How about there is no place in our COUNTRY for violence? They were appropriately appalled at all the mass shootings of little children, worshipers in church, concert goers, and more, BUT failed to do anything substantive to curb them. Now that they are being directly affected, perhaps the one good thing that may come from the assassination attempt is a bipartisan push to actually come up with some solutions for curbing the rampant gun violence happening daily in this country. Or, with time it may be back to empty rhetoric and stubborn refusal to cooperate and compromise between the parties for the almighty goals of Power and Control. Our responsibility in all of this is to use our power and VOTE in November.
