Many people, including members of Congress, don't want to end gun violence. Some politicians are photographed with their guns and even send Christmas cards of them and their families, including their children, posing with guns. Americans want access to guns, and lots of them. There are multiple guns in many American homes. People have guns in their cars, in their backpacks, in their purses, in their pockets. Twenty-four states allow "open carry" without the need even for a permit. America is saturated with guns, and shootings occur every day. Even the weakest of gun regulation is fought against. Gun proponents will always prevail. They have more rights than those who want something, anything done to try to stop shootings. Enforcing the gun regulations we already have, and increased mental health counseling is as far as gun proponents will go. But no funds are ever appropriated for either of those. As the bumper sticker on many trucks and cars says: "You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hand." That sums it up.
