Dear US Senate,
What were you thinking? What reasonable cause is there for not wanting to expand background checks, in order to prevent guns from getting in the hands of those who are unstable or dangerous? Give me a good reason, just one good reason, that you would go against what seems like common sense to most Americans.
US Senate, do you not even remember the twenty precious children at Sandy Hook? Do you not recall their brave teachers? Do you not see their faces flash across your mind as you fall asleep at night, and as you read these gun control bills? What about the innocent movie-goers in Aurora, or those who died in an Oregon mall? What about the high school students at Columbine? What about the university students at Virginia Tech? What about the individuals slain in gun violence every damn day, whose tragedies never make the headlines? What answer, what explanation do you have for the slain and their families?
Today, US Senate, you failed. You failed to take the action supported by the majority of your constituents. You failed to take action that you protect the American people. You failed to be "by the people" and "for the people." Today you showed your true colors, your absolute loyalties. I am gravely disappointed.
Sincerely,
RecoveringChristian
