The bi-partisan legislative committee needs to get something done or I fear nothing will happen except the continued death of more innocent people. Compromise will obviously be necessary as neither side will get everything it wants. The arguments regarding the causes of gun violence are ridiculously simplistic. Anyone who does not believe that mental health, gun availability and social media are among the main contributors to this violence are sadly beyond reasoning with. It is my hope that enough legislators on BOTH sides of the aisle are able to agree this time on REASONABLE legislation regarding mental health funding and background checks for those purchasing guns. If they can't even get this done, voters need to take action so these cowards are removed from office before more damage is done.
