In the aftermath of yet another mass shooting event, this one at an Oregon community college, a clearly frustrated President Barack Obama delivered an impassioned plea for action on gun control.
"This is a political choice that we make, to allow this to happen every few months in America," he said. "We collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones because of our inaction."
He is right. Though years of polling shows overwhelming support for reasonable measures such as universal background checks, banning assault weapons and halting the sale of large-capacity magazines, federal lawmakers — primarily Republicans — refuse to make them law. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
