On the Heels of Umpqua Community College

I sent the following email to 'my" Congressman, Vern Buchanan R-FL:

"Today, as in many todays of the past, we have suffered the tragedy of innocent persons being murdered by a person with firearms.  This has got to STOP!

"I have written you before on this subject, but it appears that my pleadings to you have fallen on deaf ears.  Don’t get me wrong.  I support the 2nd Amendment rights of persons to “keep and bear arms”.  However, the responsible ownership of firearms MUST include background checks on ALL persons who wish to purchase arms—not only from gun shops, but also at gun shows and through private sales.  Not only should thorough background checks be done, but legislation should be enacted to make sure those who fail to do background checks be held liable for any injury or damage caused by the use of such firearms.


"How many Sandy Hooks, Auroras, VA Techs, or Umpqua Community Colleges must we suffer before something is done?  To hell with the NRA!  We are Americans and we should not be subject to the whims and wherefores of those who feel they should have their 15 minutes of fame at the expense of innocent persons…"
