Twenty-nine people were killed in two mass shootings in America this weekend: 20 slain at a Wal-Mart in El Paso, Texas, and 9 in Dayton, Ohio, along with dozens of others injured by gunfire.
That same stretch of time saw at least nine people shot in Detroit, three of them fatally, in shootings scattered through the city.
In the aftermath of the violence, activists told different stories about gun ownership and what it represents.
Andrew Patrick, a spokesman for the Washington, D.C.-based Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, founded in 1974, said the mass shootings are part of a "public health crisis" in America concerning gun violence. |

You want "common sense"? Common sense says that if a guy walks in and starts shooting and you don't have a gun, you're a DEAD man. Even if you do have a gun, you still could be a dead man, but without one it's GUARANTEED.
THAT's "common sense". |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
