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 |
| 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] |
