Whos next?

Roberts Hawkins the Omaha gunman.

For the past few weeks it seems there have been shooting all over the news, in LAS VEGAS Assailants shot six young people Tuesday at a school bus stop, wounding two critically, in a midday attack that followed a fight over a girl, authorities said. and just few days ago in Colorado springs, Five people including the suspected attacker were killed on Sunday in a shooting near a church. and last week in Omaha a teen shot and killed 9 people at the mall. why all this shootings in the news lately? the answer is simple, the guns law in this country is too lax, in the 90s the Clinton administration try to control the sale of firearms, but everything was overturned when the republicans came to power. something has got to be done to address this problem, or the next time there is another news of shootings, it just might be your neighborhood mall.

I don't believe in hiding in my house for fear of a rare case of shootings to occur. None of these shootings are related and the chance of it happening again in a mall is slim to none.

What needs to be addressed is the sales of guns to the mentally ill. There are so many loopholes in the background checks it's ridiculous. The Dems are just as bad about not closing those loopholes as the Repugs. The Dems were in power for a long time before the Repugs took over and they still didn't do anything about gun control. They gun control lobby is too powerful and I don't see that changing. Sad, isn't it?

I just hope that America gets it self together with this cowboy thing about guns.

We are not living during the times when guns were needed to hunt. We are slowly becoming a country of guns in every mans hands regardless to his mental condition. Let's all say thanks to the Republican party and the NRA.
