Gun control is not the only answer to the horrifying events our nation faces today. I believe gun control on assault weapons would help curtail these mass shootings, but no law the government enacts will stop shootings.
Since the invention of the gun in the 12 century, humans have used them to kill each other. However, we did a fine job of killing each other before the gun was invented.  

Deranne joined Girl Scouts and now I’m one too. It’s my first time in the organization, except maybe a few Brownie meetings in my too-young-to-remember-now life.

He didn’t have time for burnishing his public image. He was what is known on Capitol Hill as “a work horse, not a show horse.”
