Essays and observations on current events, social issues and politics from a slightly left-of-center perspective". Tell the President, Congress to Stand Up to the NRA. If we pass the strictest gun laws imaginable, people will still find guns and use them. If we eradicate all guns from the planet, violent people will find other tools to carry out their violent acts. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't enact common sense gun laws in an effort to reduce. The number of gun killings. None of that is true.

Essays and observations on current events, social issues and politics from a slightly left-of-center perspective". Please vote against Amendment One. Question: How does Amendment One benefit the citizens of the state of North Carolina?
