Oh, but we don\u2019t know how many thousands of crimes were stopped by people armed with automatic weapons in just the past two months. And England hasn\u2019t dared invade! peace, mjh<\/p>\n
Gun debate should be about facts, not fantasy – Leonard Pitts Jr. – MiamiHerald.com<\/a> <\/p>\n This \u201cserious conversation,\u201d remember, got started on December 14, with a massacre in a quiet little New England town. Since that day, the shooting has not stopped, nor even slowed. <\/p>\n In Miami Gardens on Jan. 17, a 15-year-old boy was shot and killed.<\/p>\n In Albuquerque on Jan. 19, a 15-year-old boy allegedly shot his parents and three of his siblings to death.<\/p>\n In Houston on Jan. 22, three people were shot on a community college campus.<\/p>\n In Chicago on Jan. 29, a 15-year-old girl who\u2019d performed at President Obama\u2019s inauguration was shot to death.<\/p>\n And in that same city, six days later, Shirley Chambers buried her last child. Ronnie Chambers, like all three of his siblings before him, was killed by gunfire. How must it feel to have lost all your children to guns? That is not hypothetical. It is one woman\u2019s tragic reality.<\/p>\n Too many deranged or criminal people have access to too much firepower and we are paying the price in carnage and blood. This is the ordinary everyday of American life \u2014 and death. That\u2019s what we should be talking about.

Better we consider what does.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Gun debate should be about facts, not fantasy – Leonard Pitts Jr. – MiamiHerald.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oh, but we don\u2019t know how many thousands of crimes were stopped by people armed with automatic weapons in just the past two months.
