Month: July 2022

Following the horrific Independence Day mass shooting in Highland Park, Congress reacted with passage of the Active Shooter Alert Act. Like the Amber Alert system that immediately signals the public to be on the lookout for missing children through cellphones and other media, the new measure would notify the public about active shooters. It’s a

You may find yourself crying through the first half the documentary. “Gabby Giffords Won’t Back Down,”You are not to be blamed. Maybe you’ll break at the part where you hear about Giffords’ mother moving to Texas so she could be with her in the hospital every day. Perhaps you will find comfort in video footage

Dawn Gillard’s life revolved around her children.  Everyone who loved her knew that. The rest of the world would read about it in her obituary. On May 27, Gillard was shot and killed at age 40 alongside her three young children: Katelynn, 6; Ronald, 4; and Joshua, 3, at a home in Austin Township, a

The candidates running for the Missouri House of Representatives in the 49th District, covering much of Callaway County, have different opinions on issues, but mostly stay along the usual party lines.

To the editor July 17, 2022 We’ve all seen photos of the stalwart Illinois cop covering his face from the July 4th horror of yet another made-in-America gun massacre. It is time to be very, very angry. The trigger on a military weapon was pulled by one man, but he was enabled by a Republican

On July 11, Joe Biden held an event at the White House to celebrate what his administration called “the most significant gun violence legislation to have been signed into law in 30 years.” The ink on the so-called “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act,” passed over the NRA’s objection, is barely dry. And the same can be

One of the stranger assertions in the Dobbs opinion is that Roe v. Wade is “controversial.” In the first place it’s not true — nearly all polls show a staunch majority against overturning it.

And the 18-year-old accused of massacring 19 children and two teachers and wounding 17 other people at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, chose a DDM4 V7

Sooner or later you are going to have to admit it. There is nowhere in this nation that is safe from gun violence. Not the supermarket, not the local theatre or church, not the school, hotel or public park, not even the 4th of July parade. Nowhere. That’s freedom? When the next heavily armed shooter
