Please...Someone do Something Soon!!!

Well...it happened this morning again...At the Highland Park parade this morning a sniper opened fire from the rooftop of a building..and of course it was an automatic weapon...As of now...6 dead....26 injured and taken to hospitals..I know the NRA is a big player as far as far as lobbying goes...but why can't they ban automatic weapons...I would think even the pro gun folks can understand the ban on assault and automatic weapons...Law enforcement and the military are the only 2 groups that should have automatic weapons...I'm glad I'm an old man but I feel for my niece and nephews ...With the ways things are going in the world and especially here in the US I worry about what kind of future they have...Things are getting worse all over But the gun violence in the US needs to come to an end....I know you're going to say...guns don't kill...people do...but it [b][big]needs[/big][/b] to come to an end...Innocent kids are getting killed in the streets for being in the wrong place at the wrong time..or for wearing the wrong color...In Inglewood a section of the city...kids are watching TV in their living rooms and getting shot by bullets that come in through the window or right through the wall...It's always rival "street gangs" that kill innocent people because they obviously can't shoot worth a shit and they start these wars and innocent people are getting killed in the process...Something has to be done...Maybe people do kill and not the guns....but for God's sake why do we make it so damn easy to get an automatic or assault rifle in their hands...No one needs them!!!!Stay safe and take care everyone and if you do live in the US...Happy 4th of July!!!

@Nevertooold So you know nothing. Thought so. Wait for facts and stop making this political. Have respect for the dead and those grieving.

@carpediem I am very sorry for those that lost a loved one..And as I stated earlier ...I know nothing about guns...I am repeating what they have said on the news and interviews!!And I'mnotmaking it politica lin any way...so I don't know if that was intended for me or not!!

@carpediem I don't know anything...but when the police found the weapon on a rooftop...It was an assault rifle they said and you're right I don't know anything about guns as I've said 2 or 3 times earlier!!

@Nevertooold Granted. But your rhetoric serves to sensationalize an awful event. At least wait until they catch the guy before you go 100% politics

@carpediem As I said...I'm not trying to make this political ln any way shape or form!!

@Nevertooold That’s not the way I read it. But I give you the benefit of the doubt. Let’s see what happens in the coming hours and days

@carpediem
Does it matter ? Fact is he killed six people, and hurt a lot of people quickly.

@DocSavage Exactly. And yes, respect for grieving matters. Especially when the events are still unfolding. Anything less is just wrong
