FOCUS: Legislators decry gun violence but never take action

ANOTHER VIEW: Draconian weapons and abortion laws need changing

By Raleigh Perry |  The draconian laws that many states have passed on anti-abortion and free access to guns has to be changed.  What I foresee is that the various state legislatures’ political balance will change considerably.  The same will probably occur in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate.

ANOTHER VIEW: It’s high time to get something done about weapons

By Dan Bollinger  |  My question is now, and has been for a long time, is what part of the “well-regulated militia” do some people not understand? That’s particularly in the context of the Second Amendment.

FOCUS: In era of NRA influence, mass killings continue in USA

By Raleigh Perry  |  The Gun Violence Archive counted 648 mass shootings in 2022 in our country. In 2023, mass killings began with at least 36 dead in January. This is ridiculous and could be cut way down with national controls on guns.
