The gun debate is again out of the public’s mind because it has been a few months since the latest mass shooting tragedy. Or maybe we just don’t pay attention anymore. That is a tragedy.
Because actually, we’re barely two weeks out from a shooting in a Waffle House in Tennessee that killed four. And on Tuesday officers arrested a young man in Texas who had been planning a massive mall shooting.
We have been more than clear that this country needs more gun laws to keep its citizens safe. Automatic and semi-automatic firearms are just not necessary to secure our fundamental rights.
