Senate Committee Investigates Solutions for Gun Violence
After watching the 4+ hours of the proceeding, available here in its entirety, it is plain to see why we can't, or shouldn't, rely on civil servants as a first line of defense against surprise attacks of premeditated violence. The lack of objectivity exhibited in this hearing, by those who obviously live in a world of emotional subjectivity, will likely prevent a good solution to the problem; the problem being that of keeping deadly weapons out of the hands of persons who should not have them — without infringing on the rights of responsible law-abiding persons. I hope I'm wrong, but a legislative solution doesn't look very promising at this point.
Off the hill, it's good that citizens and media are becoming aware, and some of them, like this, have been taking action at the local level.
