Quote of the Day

Gun violence touches every class, color, and community, with thirty-three thousand people dying from guns each year -- an average of ninety a day.  That's a particularly devastating fact because gun violence is largely preventable.  Other developed nations don't have this problem.  They have commonsense laws to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.  Those laws work.  They save lives.  The United States has made a cruel choice as a country not to take simple steps that would help prevent -- or at least lessen -- this epidemic.
