End mass murders

We investigate mass murders at schools, theaters and churches. We investigate the killings of presidents and other members of Congress. What have we accomplished with all these investigations?

We still have approximately 35,000 people killed each year by guns. The United States has more guns and gun deaths than any other civilized country. It’s time for Congress to act to rid the country of all these murders. We must stop weapons originally designed for the armed forces and other government agencies from being sold to the public.

It works in other countries, it will work here. Let’s not wait for the next massacre.

Kenneth Chaitman, Aventura
