Racism, mental illness and guns = murder

Murdered while expressing their religious beliefs in their place of worship.

Another example of gun violence which will be ignored.

Racism, mental illness, and guns – a deadly mixture. We have heard all of the arguments from the gun lovers, gun manufacturers, and the National Rifle Association, but the fact remains – this never happens in countries who have gun ownership laws. It has happened here two dozen times in the last few years and quickly forgotten each time.

This tragic occurrence would not have happened without a gun. This young man was given a gun a few months ago for his 21st birthday. Now nine live are destroyed and hundreds of people are affected by their loss, senselessly, needlessly, sadly.

Guns give courage to cowards, cause violence which would not occur otherwise, and empower the mentally ill.

While we are amending the constitution to get the money out of politics, we should eliminate private ownership of guns.

Guns kill innocent people and helpless animals. Both of which we could live better without.
