'As people are gunned down, our representatives in Congress defy acting,' Andrew Kramer writes.
In this Sept. 15, 2010 file photo, an employee looks through the scope of long gun at a gun store in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.Outrage, grief and frustration are sweeping our nation in the wake of the recent shooting massacres in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, two ofin 2022. More than 17,300 people have lost their lives to gun violence this year alone.
The profusion of gun violence in our country is a form of national insanity which is not found in other developed countries. As people are gunned down, our representatives in Congress defy acting. Utah Sen. Mike Lee, for example,for soliciting donations in the wake of the Uvalde shooting, claiming Everytown shouldn’t be using emotion to inspire donations. This all-too-common ploy that we should not act when emotions are running high is a calloused excuse to stall and then do nothing — taken right from the NRA handbook.
For example, Hawaiians and Canadians enjoy hunting and gun sport activities yet their firearm death rates are about 28% and 16%, respectively, that of the U.S. death rate. Why? Because they have common-sense effective gun regulation.
