day in order to grab the news headlines from Bernie's speech on his Wall Street plans?
Obama's authority to change our gun laws and regulations is pretty limited. Why did he choose today to make this announcement?
I like Obama. I worked hard to get him elected and re-elected. But to choose today to make a gun announcement may be just a cheap shot to help struggling Hillary.
I don't like to view Obama in this negative way, but there is something odd about picking today for this announcement.
It's a way to distract voters from the really meaningful economic proposals that Bernie wants to make.
We have to change our culture if we want to stop the gun violence.
That means staying away from movies that feature lots of shooting. That's just the start, but it is something we can all do. Just don't give your hard-earned money to movie theaters that show movies in which there is a lot of shooting.
If you buy your groceries in a store that sells guns, try to buy your groceries elsewhere and tell the store that sells the guns why you are switching stores.
Get a group of friends together and start an anti-gun violence, anti-gun ownership solidarity group in your community. Talk about gun safety and the danger of having guns in a household with children at your church, your social club, with your neighbors.
There is only so much that the law can do about guns. It is we who live in this society who have to make rules like, "I won't allow my child to play at the house of a friend if there are guns in the house."
Before you allow your child to play at a friend's house, call the parents and ask if they have guns in the house. If they do, don't let your child play there. Suggest that the children play only at your house.
It's actions like these that will change the gun culture in our country. Laws won't do it.
