24. There is only one way that I think something will be done.

May 2019

A special event in Congress, where all the important people in Congress are there. You can list the important people who are there for whatever reason. Someone gets into the event, and does what is done in these school shootings. The results are the same, except these are well known people in Congress. Not just a few, but many of them.
.. Then, and sadly, only then, will something be done. I am not proposing this, or in favor of anyone being hurt for any reason. The U.S.A. has enough killings due to guns. This is awful and a horrible reflection of us. I am totally against any of this. Having said that, and those are my deepest beliefs, the first paragraph could be the only way something very strong is done.
