Letter: Senseless mass killings will continue as long as spineless representatives remain in office

Nine people were killed in a mass shooting late Saturday in a city east of Los Angeles following a Lunar New Year celebration that attracted thousands, police said.

Well, here we go again. Congress will discuss, debate and blabalanch about gun violence. Nothing will happen.

The folks that we voted to represent us have an obligation to protect their real constituents, their financial partners, their lobbyists. Don’t expect bipartisan agreement to do anything with guns.

Senseless mass killings will continue in this country as long as the spineless representatives that we elected choose greed over substantive gun management legislation. This systemic problem of greed-based representation can be reversed, but doing so will take a generation of thoughtful, honest, caring voters who elect congressional representatives that mirror their values.
