After mass shootings, retired military commanders urge Congress to address 'gun violence crisis'

[elleng]

'Sixteen of the nation’s top retired military commanders are urging Congress to pass gun control legislation, arguing that there are many steps that can be taken to curb gun deaths that do not violate the Second Amendment.

In a letter they plan to send to Congressional leaders, the retired commanders, including Army Gens. Wesley Clark and Michael V. Hayden, Navy Admiral Eric T. Olson, Air Force Lt. Gen. Norman R. Seip and Marine Brig. Gen. Stephen A. Cheney, argue that Congress is “no longer speaking or voting for the majority of Americans, including gun owners” when it comes to the issue of firearms.

“There is no acceptable excuse for our elected leaders to avoid addressing this as a national crisis,” they write.'>>>

3. Blah, blah, blah.

Sounds good but is meaningless rhetoric from people nobody pays any attention to. The congress critters get talk from these people and money from the NRA. Let me think a second. Who will they side with? Hmm.
