It is absolutely horrifying that we have allowed partisan politics and the interests of the gun lobby to come before our children's lives. We are better than this.
I support the Second Amendment. And I believe that law-abiding citizens should not be denied the right to own a firearm.
Congress, though, has a responsibility to act. We need to pass universal background checks, a ban on bump-stocks, which allow individuals to convert firearms into fully automatic weapons, and a ban on high capacity magazines and military-style assault weapons that are designed to kill as many people as possible in the shortest period of time.
