Guns do kill without commonsense rules

It is the guns! Both the pistols that children find and play with and the assault rifles that kill dozens in minutes. We need commonsense gun regulations, just as we do with other dangerous objects like cars. A friend’s precious grandson was killed by a gun found by a fellow special-needs student in a van in which they were being transported. Once a month, our church reads the names of people killed that month in Georgia by guns and then attaches their names to ribbons displayed outdoors. The numbers are heartbreaking. When July’s names and ribbons are read, one of our own will be there. Guns kill!
