Mass shooting in California brings gun violence home

- Terri Tillis, Walt Bonora,

As a kid I watched Westerns on TV where the “bad man/gunman” would suddenly push open the saloon doors, draw his guns and start shooting. I remember consciousl­y thinking that I was glad I didn’t live “in those times.”

Apparently now I do ...

How many more people have to be slaughtere­d before the Republican Party, the NRA and the gun lovers of this country realize this isn’t working?

What is this sick obsession so many Americans have with guns? We need a culture change. At the very least we need to ban all automatic weapons. The 2nd Amendment has no more applicatio­n today. It is sick that we live in a nation held hostage by a gun lobby. Guns are big business and people are dying.

Enough. Stop the madness.
