The shootings in Boulder, Colorado, and the Atlanta-area last month that left 18 people dead has reignited the political exchange around gun control.
“What we're seeing now is no different from, frankly, what we see every day,” Greg Jackson Jr., national advocacy director of the Community Justice Action Fund said. “When minorities are being impacted by gun violence, it’s purely looked at as a crime challenge, a hate challenge, but not necessarily as the public health crisis that it is and the response that’s required to address this as a crisis and not an individual impact or individual incident.
“Why is there this lack of coverage about the fact that this was a mass shooting? And whenever there's a mass shooting that's always one of the first thing that's talked about,” he said. “When there is a mass tragedy, there is always a policy response. When there's violence that happens in our communities, the response is, ‘What did those people do, why were they there?’ Like last week, people initially said, ‘Why were those women there?’ It doesn't matter why they were there, it doesn’t matter what the occupation was,” Goodwin said.
No. It is all horrible. Justice!

There's only about 8,316 gun control laws on the books so definitely we need another five or six hundred more which will surely fix things What debate? It is a civil right and the government has no authority over them. All their actions are direct violations to the Oaths of Office. The shooter himself says it wasn’t about ASAINS..it was about a SEXUAL ISSUE. There’s only one side to these shootings..right?
