Using common sense seems to elude some...

Yesterday (Wednesday, June 8th) our House of Representatives passed some minor gun safety measurers. While I'm thrilled even that little bit was passed, I am frustrated that more, much more wasn't passed.

Why am I frustrated? Honestly it boils down to this: One party cares about finding ways to stop these killings and the other, regardless of how many die, care about antiquated words and saving their right to own guns that serve no legitimate purpose.

Common sense is not common anymore

@Subalugirl Common senselessness is becoming common.

@softspokenman May be

@Subalugirl Sad, but true. I think it's better stated as not being able to think past the "I" and actually have at least a little empathy for others.

I just have a difficult time understanding how having the right to own a gun, when put on a scale, balances out to be more valuable that than saving a life.

@Ontheroad Yeah may be but every one has different thoughts, check your message

@Ontheroad There had to have been close to a dozen and maybe more things that went wrong in Texas. A Door that didn't lock. A missing security officer. Cops that stood there with their fingers up their asses while the shooting took place. A swat team that apparently no one knew where they were or how to contact them. A breakdown in communication between the cops on the scene and 911 operators. Any one of these could have prevented or at least reduced the number of deaths,. And there's still a question of why the guy wasn't on anyone's radar, or maybe he was and they didn't follow through. Why is no one interested in fixing the things that have a higher probability of saving lives than some new gun law? Please, think of the children.
