A young man I knew was murdered at the top of my block yesterday: Shahid Smith. He was killed by an assault weapon that does not belong on my block or any street. Shahid lived below me in Brick Towers where I lived for 8 years. His life mattered. His death must matter.

Local leaders valiantly struggle; Local police courageously face military weapons; Activists call to a nation’s moral conscience. “Do you see my children, do you care about our kids?” And still thousands of beautiful people of equal worth and equal value continue to die.

The dream of our land can’t be real or secure or safe anywhere until it is made so everywhere. We have common pain, let us unite in common purpose. Columbine and Camden; Newtown and Newark; Parkland and Paterson. Never Again, Never Again, Never Again.

There are more issues than just guns in this country, yes
@JimColica, but numbers are numbers, and fewer assault weapons on the street will also mean fewer incidents of violence using assault weapons. And that’s a good start. -
I agree that military style machine guns have no place on our streets. Unfortunately, we have 50 states who use these weapons responsibly to protect their properties- maybe we can understand this and work for better local solutions

Those “Assault weapons” you speak of will still find a way into this country. Guns are not the problem

Lol aren’t drugs illegal? Yet they still make it into this country. Illegal immigrants still make it into the country.

Typical in Democrat controlled areas. Common sense gun control, banning Democrats from having guns, would stop 95% of gun violence.
