53. There has been a war on drugs for a while but the events of mass murders are too many.

In the recent ones totally innocent people have been killed and injured and this is inexcusable. We have speed limits and still have people killed in traffic accidents. The NRA should be pushing safety and promoting actions to keep weapons out of the hands of those incapable of handling them.

Wayne is probably not aware of military having someone watching while others slept at night and still having the company attacked and members killed, guess what hey had good guys there with weapons but it did not stop the killing. The NRA needs to work towards a solution of prevention since they probably do not have the funds to place armed guards in every school, what about the movie theaters, shopping centers and places of worship, where does their armed guards stop.
