It is the time to ban assault weapons and magazines that hold more than ten rounds. It is the time to close loopholes that allow 40 percent of gun sales to be sold without federal background checks because they are purchased privately at gun shows, online, or person-to-person.
The time for talk is over. No more discussing, decrying, deliberating. No more burying our children and binding our emotional wounds. No more prevaricating. No more politics.
What more is there to say? Except this: Enough! Enough senseless slaughter. Enough dead children who might have had lives filled with achievement and joy. Enough grieving parents and siblings and friends. Enough weeping with the multitudes.
Enough! We must stop being a country of killing fields. We must put an end to the false power of lobbying groups that some identify as terrorist organizations. We must say, with one voice, Enough! And we must mean it. Now.
