Congressional member from voting on sensible gun issues. We have licenses for driving, owning a vehicle, purchasing insurance and rules of the road. I am not against the Second amendment and the reason was at the time they realized we had a need for protection of a right to own a gun but since this time we do have the National Guard and other military branches which are trained in the protections. NRA just wants to sell more guns and don't care who purchases the weapons.

Obama has made passionate pleas on gun controls far too many times as president, this should not be happening. We are attacked at shopping malls, theaters, schools and more than once in places of worship. We also have the right to life, liberty and happiness, not having to worry about getting shot just because someone without any control is in possession of a gun or guns.
