Gun rights

As we mourn the innocent people killed in the recent mass attacks in Charleston and Chattanooga, it is appropriate to consider why this happened.

I believe the one reason is that citizens of the United States have decided that it is essential that our citizens be allowed to own and use guns without any restrictions.

An inevitable consequence of this is that a few innocent people will die from gun violence because their rights are less important than gun owners and users.
