The NRA’s response to put armed
guards in our schools instead of considering reasonable limits on guns is truly
astounding. The lack of reasonableness
in the face of known increases in mass shootings would seem to me, to indicate
a determined indifference to public safety.
It’s upsetting to see the statistics of how the US compares to other
countries in terms of individuals killed by guns. Over a one year period The Brady Campaign cites
these numbers:
Finland 17
Australia 35
England and Wales 39
Spain 60
Germany 194
Canada 200
US 9,484
Consider what police chiefs across the country are asserting about how assault weapons make
their job more dangerous.
The tragedy at Sandy Hook should be a wake up
call for all of us to fight for reasonable gun control. Take a look at the Mayor’s “ DemandA Plan” website and video.
