get weapons of mass destruction out of society
I agree with Richard Fogel.
Society has no place for any weapon of any kind.
Kudos to the student who reported whathe heard. More mental health counseling, raising the age of gun purchase, are helpful but it is not enoughBanning all assault weapons is essential in a civilized society The Second Amendment was written to arm colonists against attacks by Indians
Not give people a liscense to wontonly kill others. It is time for a national movement to end gun violence and to break the stranglehold of the NRA.Then we will see real change
Major police presence across from my house today. Something related to Staples. yikes!!!!
