Erin Cizmas, volunteer with the Washington chapter of Moms Demand Action for gun sense in America, recently talked about the senseless shooting of a community member in his driveway.  
In her statement, Cizmas said in part that, "And we know that guns help make hate deadly".  Cizmas doesn't seem to realize that it's not the gun, but the person using the gun who helps make hate deadly.  Americans have the Constitutional right under the 2nd Amendment to possess firearms legally and many anti-2nd Amendment advocates want to get rid of all guns, but this is not the answer.
There are many laws already on the books which will put criminal users of firearms away for a very long time if they were fully enforced by our courts.
Law abiding Americans who legally own firearms do not commit these offenses.
Thanks,
