Four Marines and a sailor killed. One Marine was just 21 years old. One returned safely from two tours in Iraq, earning two Purple Hearts. Another was a veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Do you agree that it would be better if the gunman had not been able to get his hands on guns in the first place? What a supremely tragic irony; four Marines and a sailor served our country in uniform, only to be killed on their home soil in our country's epidemic of gun violence, an epidemic enabled by the NRA's disgraceful, sordid, anti-Christian love affair with guns.
