Violence In America

Gabby Giffords. Steve Scalise. Rand Paul. Even our congressmen and women aren’t safe from violence in this country. How many more people have to be hurt or killed before we start treating violent crime like the epidemic that it has become? It’s not enough just to lock people up after they commit crimes. 

We need to understand the root causes of this scourge on American society, and we need to have the courage to do something about it. And for once and for all, stop blaming immigrants for this. They are not causing this problem; our American-born neighbors are.
