Good Evening, I just have to speak out having just heard the latest news from Texas. The guns in this country have to go. The framers of the Constitution would be horrified if they saw what is happening in this country with gun violence. When the Constitution was written men had muskets that take time to reload. Now everyone can have assault rifles and handguns. What say you Justices of the Supreme Court? What say you original intent proponents? The 2nd Amendment does not say that eveyone can have the guns available today that are bought to kill innocent people. No it says "A *well regulated * militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." We have gone so far beyond that original intent that we are all complicit at some level for the ongoing violence here. I say, let us protest. Let us march. Let us insist that Congress, state legislatures and the Supreme Court act - now... We must speak out.
I pray for the 14 children, their teacher - and all the lives that will be touched by this horrendous tragedy. Thank you. Sarah
