Lack of well-regulated guns is complicity

58 killed; 32 killed; 27 killed; 26 killed; 18 killed; 17 killed;

These are not just numbers. They represent the sons and daughters that were killed in mass shootings in the United States. The victims of Sandy Hook and the High school in Parkland, Florida, are included, but this is by no means a complete list.

The Second Amendment states "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

How about some of these regulations? How much longer and how many more children need to die before we get some common sense "well regulated" control over the sale and possession of assault weapons?

These weapons were made to kill people, and they are very good at it, as evidenced by the above numbers. Our representatives, senators, and the president need to get their hands out of the pocket of the National Rifle Association and raise them to support "well regulated" control.

Failure to do so makes each one of them complicit in the deaths of the boys and girls killed in the next school shooting tragedy.
