People are the problem

Memo to Democrats in Congress: When is the sit-in planned to draw attention to increasing controls on who may own or drive large vehicles? As a pedestrian, I’m afraid to walk down the streets and hope this new “vehicle” for terrorists will soon become highly regulated by Congress in order to make my walks safe again.

With sincere apologies for the tongue-in-cheek analogy to those who perished in Nice, France, hopefully this horrible event will serve a purpose: It’s not the guns that are the problem. It’s evil or misguided people. If we eliminate the guns, as was done in France, the crazies will simply find another way to kill. In this case it was an even more effective method than using a gun.

Gun owners have been trying point this out for years now. Are you convinced yet?
