Let them have guns' is as much a solution to mass murder and gun violence as 'Let them have drugs' is a solution to drug addiction.

Violence isn't a Democrat or Republican problem. It's an American problem, requiring an American solution.

Thoughts and prayers won't stop a speeding bullet.

Saying gun control hurts our freedom is a false argument amounting to propaganda. Gun laws don't curtail freedom any more than speed limits or seat belts. You still get to drive your car and have guns, we're just trying to save lives as you do.
