Need for Gun Control

Blacks, women and other suspect classes have faced more than their share of gun violence,threats and lntimidation in the fight for social justice. Mowing down innocent children is as unconscionable as it gets, just nauseating. The use of military scale weapons increases the sense of outrage and presents an urgency to clamor for organized citizen involvement on a scale of the civil rights movement. The heinous nature of the shootings should not incite leaders to increase arms in the public schools as the only workable solution. Communities,elected officials,law enforcement, the military and responsible NRA members have to come together and stop this with everything they have. Background checks and decreased availability of such weapons is a good start.
