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 |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
