(36,464 posts)What man, who really loves his wife, would discourage legislation that keeps guns out of the hands of domestic abusers? Paid off NRA whores, that's who.
I think four people have to be killed for a shooting to be categorized as a mass shooting, so unless the shooting is done in public, or unless the shooter kills enough people to be worthy of national attention, these shootings don't get much attention. A guy (almost always) gets pissed off at his spouse/girlfriend, hears about their family picnic, & next thing you know he shows up with a gun. Four or five people dead, but no national news on that.
Some other suggestions - not laws, but lift the federal freeze on funding research on gun violence, which has been in place since 1996!
Also, some may disagree, but release the photos from Sandy Hook. The public needs to see what these weapons do to human bodies.
