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.

saving their right to own guns that serve no legitimate purpose

How can self-defense not be a legitimate purpose though? Making it more difficult for ordinary individuals to own guns is not going to make it more difficult for criminals and other violent people to own them. What it could do is make it harder for the former group to protect themselves when and if they need to.
