Real discussion needed

I don’t know how one can separate amendment rights from human rights. It is a challenge that all of America faces today.

However, we are faced with yet another mass shooting, the 351st or 355th this year, depending on different sources. Each time this happens I hear a lot of talk about gun control . I also hear a lot of talk about gun rights.

Something must change!

We — all of us who want change — must write, call or email our respective representatives and demand some type of real and productive discussion about where this country is going in the future.

If not today, when? I know I am not alone. If you care, act. They won’t if you don’t.
