A Parent's Worst Nightmare

Another school shooting, a parent's worst nightmare has happened again. This time in Marysville, WA. This epidemic is much farther reaching here in America than the ebola outbreak. Everyone wants to do something about Ebola, but, have you heard anything from any politician about gun safety/gun laws? Hell no! Gun rights maybe, protect the 2nd amendment. Yes, every politician is big on that one.

I think Liberals want to protect gun rights while at the same time promote gun safety laws. In New York, for example, they have the NYSAFE Act. (Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act). According to Governor Cuomo,"The SAFE Act stops criminals and the dangerously mentally ill from buying a gun by requiring universal background checks on gun purchases, increases penalties for people who use illegal guns, mandates life in prison without parole for anyone who murders a first responder, and imposes the toughest assault weapons ban in the country. For hunters, sportsmen, and law abiding gun owners, this new law preserves and protects your right to buy, sell, keep or use your guns."   

There is a website that New York citizens and others can access that explains the reach and intent of this law.  https://www.governor.ny.gov/nysafeact/gun-reform

This law may be a way to help keep communities safe while still protecting hunters and sportsmen. If you get a chance, ask your favorite politician about gun safety reform.
