We’ve had so many incidents of people in the United States using guns against others that have no other purpose beyond mutilating the human body and causing injury or death. We hear of children being killed by guns. We hear of the devastation gun violence does to families and communities. We hear of the ordeals shooting survivors face. But we don’t do a thing about the problem.

The Republican majority in Congress refuse to do much of anything to stop the carnage. They blocked legislation that would’ve stopped the Orlando shooter from buying weapons legally then claim background checks don’t work. They’ve blocked the CDC from treating gun violence as a public health crisis. People like President Obama and Pope Francis have both spoken out against such violence and called for reasonable solutions to gun violence and are called all sorts of vile names and accused of all manner of evil.
