Carl Miller of Chippewa Falls was trying to make a serious point about the frequency of gun violence in the U.S.
“It used to be the shooting of the month. Then the shooting of the week. Now, has anyone heard, has there been a shooting today?” he asked at Monday’s listening session held by U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-La Crosse) at the Chippewa Valley Technical College campus in Chippewa Falls.
Kind, who represents the 3rd Congressional District, said there are things the government can do to lessen gun violence, including requiring universal background checks of people buying firearms.
He said absent background checks, you don’t know who is getting the weapons.

"Kind, who represents the 3rd Congressional District, said there are things the government can do to lessen gun violence".
Yes. There is something the government can do to lessen gun violence. Lock up the criminals.
It is the criminals, stupid!
Gun laws and restrictions only affect law abiding citizens. Criminals don't obey the law and they don't get their guns through legal channels. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
