Well humans in America have done it again. The present weak gun laws have allowed another crazy human to acquire guns and kill multiple students and a teacher at a college in Oregon. It continues over and over again, and nothing is done to make America safe from this insanity. Guns are controlled in all the other advanced countries in the world, but not here. The President is ready to correct it, but his hands are tied by a Congress and many state legislatures that are beholden to the NRA. They self servingly say the answer is more guns. The truth is more guns = more gun homicides as reported in

Siegel M1, Ross CS, King C 3rd.
Scott Wilk, the assemblyman in our neighborhood, Porter Ranch, California promotes the Second Amendment. That is code for favoring gun anarchy. He also voted against a proposed law banning concealed weapons in schools in California. Fortunately we have other representatives in our state who are not so small minded.
These rampages will continue to recur until the people of the USA wake up and vote the cronies of the NRA out of Congress.
