I am an Army vet and firearm owner. Do something America. My wish list would be to ban all assault-type weapons and large clips now.

Of course, the Republicans will never stand for that; they want to arm teachers with handguns and stand up to a weapon of war. Nineteen police officers in Uvalde with handguns were afraid to confront a teenager with an assault weapon!

We need, children need, shoppers need, worshipers need federal protection of at least some weak nature to deal with this national disgrace.
