Rebuttal
The citizens weren’t taking the matter kindly and showed contempt for the refusal to curb gun control.
Republican Rep. Mike Coffman held a town meeting in Greenwood Village Colorado. He received boos and a stern rebuttal from those present.
“Let’s do something for them!” one man yelled. Another cried out, “We’re done with thoughts and prayers!”
It was clear that the people wanted action, not words, action.
“I am ashamed, as it took children to shake me from my comfort zone to come forward to say enough is enough,” said Patti Seno, a Democrat. “An avalanche is coming to Washington, sir, and it is going to be led by our children.”
“The massacres are getting bigger and worse,” Laura Chapin said. “It would be smart of Democrats to go after Mike Coffman’s hypocrisy.”
However it was noted that everyone didn’t think that banning assault rifles would change anything.
“The West is different,” said Josh Penry, a veteran GOP strategist and Coffman adviser. “There’s this basic understanding that Congress passing a lot of laws isn’t going to stop evil people from committing evil acts.”
While it was true that persons committed evil acts and not guns, the fact still remained that some level of control was needed.
The guns could only be used if a person had access to them. It seemed that was the purpose of the ban, to keep such weapons off the street. This could surely help saved more lives as such weapons won’t be accessible.
