Another Mass Shooting, Mr. President. What Are You Going To Do About It?

Dear President Trump, 

One week ago, on October 1, 2017, in Las Vegas, a lone gunman killed 58 people and injured 489 people with an AK 47, an assault weapon designed for war.   

Since I was born in 1966, 948 people have been killed in 131 events in which a lone gunman or pair of gunmen willed four or more people.  The gunmen in these separate events each used an average of 3 weapons per shooting.  The oldest victim was 98 years old.  The youngest was an 8 month old baby whose mother tried to shield her.  The mother was killed too. 

51 years of deaths from mass shootings have taken parents, friends, sons, daughters and others away from those who loved them.   

You are the president of the United States.  These are American citizens dying.   

What are you going to do about it? 

Regards, 

Bill Boerman-Cornell
