That we should not "give up the fight" to reduce gun violence. So let's work on making that happen -- don't blame guns or high capacity magazines, don't blame law-abiding guns owners, and don't conflate them with the Dylan Roofs of the world. Instead, let's focus on improving education and job opportunities for everyone, eliminating poverty and scaling back the war on drugs. Let's also improve mental health care.
