    This it right in my community. :(

    Our congressman Mark Pocan summed things up well, “Support better gun laws or stay out. Thought & prayers are useless. Action!”

    By the way OP its been corrected to three, maybe update title.

      Isn’t murder already illegal? Why would a killer care if they’re also breaking some newly made law? I never understood this logic.

        FTFY

        It’s already illegal to break traffic laws, why do I need a license?

          Tens of thousands of people drive cars without a license every day. Thanks for solidifying my point.

              No not at all. I’m saying despite that, there’s still nothing stopping someone from taking a car or a gun and killing someone with it.

              Edit: Downvoting this comment won’t make it untrue. There’s an example in the very article you just read.
