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 |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
