When 90% of the American people want sensible gun legislation, and the mostly republican senators filibuster abusing the process of legislative process, like adolescent children holding their breath until they are blue, I say they are cowards. Now I am not into name calling, but in this case, when they hear real stories of people whose lives are shattered forever with the death of their children from gun violence, I am appalled that these senators can show their face in public and expect somehow to be re-elected? They will not be re-elected, if the American people have anything to say about it. This American has something to say about it.
Here is my common sense gun control proposal for them to chew on:
1) Ban all hand guns. Period.
2) Ban all assault-style weapons including repeating rounds of ammunition.
3) Ban all clips for any gun with more than 5 bullets for public use.
4) Have a 'clean out the guns day,' including buy-back programs in every major city on the same day.
5) Melt those guns into sculptures commemorating the dead, especially the children in inner cities. Donate the metal to art programs for children to make into art, inlcuding to art schools for their sculpture programs.
6) Institute background checks for every gun registered, and sold in the U.S. period, this includes Internet sales.
7) All hunting riffles must be registered every year, and permits issued for them every year. Period.
8) Publicize every senator or congressman's name in every newspaper, news blog and on television who refuses to vote for such legislation.
9) Tar and feather the senators who vote against such legislation
10) Have those senators publicly apologize to the families of the victims who they voted against such legislation.
11) Make it a felony for a public official to spread lies and fear about pending legislation.
It is time we took back our country from lobbyists such as the ones that seem to have these cowards in their clutches. It is time they got a heart, and moved from fear of the gun lobby to love of our children. I know what it is like to live with a broken heart from loss of a child. My daughter died of natural causes. I cannot imagine what those families must be going through. It is time we acted together as a community for the good of all children. It is time we stopped these cowards from running our country. Are you angry yet? I am.
