Surprise, Surprise.

        I just read an article in the National memo. Now admittedly, its a liberal news outlet, but this talks about indisputable facts. Since 9-11, 2001, 6,929 soldiers have been killed by gunfire in combat, according to the Dept. of Defense. Since 12 -14, 2012, the Sandy Hook massacre, about 7,000 children have been killed by gunfire.
       Guns didn't kill those soldiers nor did guns kill those children, people did. I get it. The thing is though, guns facilitated those people to kill. Without guns, they might have killed, but far fewer. Saving the life of a child, or a soldier by any means is a good thing.
       Think of it. Nearly 16 1/2 years of military combat compared to 7 1/4 years for children. Its more dangerous to be a child in America than a soldier in foreign combat. Now, I hate to sound like an old fuddy duddy, and I do enjoy target practice with my rifle (I can no longer hunt), but it seems to me that enough is enough.
       We have a Congress that is terrified of the NRA should they vote anything on gun safety. Okay, then its time, this year, to replace those Congressmen and Senators who fear the NRA so we can get some sensible laws passed. If Trump vetoes the legislation then we can override the veto. If that's what it comes to then we need to get Congress to begin to fear We The People by using our voting power.     
       Wouldn't the NRA be surprised. Wouldn't Congress be surprised. Wouldn't the President be surprised. What a great surprise party it would be.
