My response to the two mass shooting in GA and CO.

[AZLD4Candidate]

I don't know how to express how I feel. Depressed that it happened again. Angry that those with power do nothing to stop it and actively work to enable it again. Confused. Disheartened. My wife, a foreigner, asked me last night if this will happen in my classroom or to her if she goes out when she comes here with her green card. I simply told her "I don't know."

I keep asking when is enough going to be enough. And this is an issue we, as Democrats, have ceded too much ground on because Republicans turned it into a bumper sticker it: "Good guys with guns stop bad guys with guns." "Outlaw guns and only outlaws have guns." Empty platitudes that sound good, but with a second of logical thought shows them hollow and empty:

1: In CO, a good guy with a gun, trained and ready to use on duty, was also killed.
2: With that logic, we should have no laws, since a rapist, murderer, embezzler, or theft will do their acts, laws be damned.

So, I will use this bumper sticker logic to counter it: "Your family or your gun. Which is more valuable?"

My heart goes out to those in pain and those who lost some of the most important people in their lives. Right now, I have nothing more to say.
