Letter: Demand gun regulation now

By Lois Murphy, Vancouver
Published: November 9, 2017, 6:00am

Fueled since 1977 with power, money and incredible influence, the NRA spews a vile brew of lies, facile mantras, and forced annihilation of all who fail to hew to their catechism of guns, always guns, all kinds of guns, before reason, safety, common sense or reality. It has resulted in a pit filled with the blood of babies, first-grade children, high school students, young adults in college, all ages in movie theaters, shoppers in malls, politicians on ball fields, churchgoers in their pews, people walking, people driving, people sitting.

When is enough enough for you? When will you demand that your government representatives pull up their grown-up pants and confront the bullies who now occupy the executive suites of the NRA and their acolytes in government.
