What happened in Pennsylvania to former president Trump is unfortunate. Gun violence is a vile illness in this country and it cannot be ignored. That being said, for too long we have given guns a pass. Even Trump said people should get over it.

Gun ownership is a right in the USA but with rights come responsibilities and restrictions. People who have been the victims of gun violence deserve better.

I am not going to give Trump or Republicans a break. Too many children have lost their lives to guns. Too many women have been the victims of firearms that shouldn’t have been in the hands of the perpetrators. Something should be done but it won’t because of the sick dependence on the influence and money from the NRA and other organizations.

Gun violence is a moral issue that should have been addressed a very long time ago. Maybe now it will be looked at however I am not holding my breath.
