Thank you, Fitz! I believe we have to go much farther than outlawing them. I think we need to conduct a door-to-door buyback program and REQUIRE people to sell back their AR style weapons and all paraphernalia used to increase capacity beyond six shots!
David, I'm more than pleased that you are using your bully pulpit to address this issue of all issues. No other "problem" has concerned and upset me like gun violence has. Giffords and Everytown are wonderful organizations. Let me know if I can join forces locally.
Excellent article. I was just expressing my frustration with my posting, talking about and feeling so helpless with the rampant irresponsible gun culture in our country. This is just what I needed, what all of us need. Question: May I post this on my FB site? Wasn’t sure of copyright situation.
Thanks! My husband and I plan to move to Tucson in next year or two. Coming from Oregon we were concerned with finding a comfortable political fit (even in my beloved Tucson). Your advocacy and progressive voice have encouraged us greatly and we are proceeding with our plans with hope and determination to actually DO something in our remaining time on this sweet planet. Amazing what you’ve done with your life David, truly.
Beautiful Oregon. Spent summers as a kid on my uncle's farm west of Beaverton, picking strawberries and walnuts and herding dairy cows. Grandpa was a lighthouse keeper at Cape Meares. Love the coastal side of your state. You'll enjoy Arizona. And we can always use more sane voters! Give me a shout out when you settle in. Abrazos, mis amigos!

Thanks for all the work you put into this.

Right on, brother. Thanks for the links

Will do. Sent an e-mail to you with a little bit (I promise) more catching up. 😊
