It seems preposterous that these common-sense measures have not yet been implemented, especially with the bipartisan lip service paid them in political sound bites. However, apparently the American public has not been angry enough and persistent enough until now to ensure their passage.
Now must be the time to save lives and make America a safer country. Citizens must stand up to the entrenched power of the National Rifle Association and see through its rhetoric. Most importantly, with the presidential primaries just around the corner, the American people should make it clear that a comprehensive plan for gun control must be a part of any serious candidate's campaign.
Another death will be one too many.
