Letter: Stop pretending about the nation's gun violence and support gun control

We must stop pretending that we don’t know, what we know, we know. We know that guns kill people. We know that high-powered military guns kill more people. We know that high-capacity guns kill even more people.

Gun lobbyists pretend that “guns don’t kill people; people kill people.” They pretend they don’t know that high-powered weapons make any person a thousand times more deadly. They know the truth; they sacrifice lives for profit.

We must stop pretending that SCOTUS is protecting our rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” This became clear when they overturned reasonable gun laws that protected innocent civilians.

We know that any “Right to Life” candidate who doesn’t support gun control is pretending to be concerned for “life.” Each person killed in this year’s 308+ mass shootings had a “right to life.” Candidates should support gun control.
