“Reasonable, rational people can disagree on the subject of guns, and how much control or regulation is appropriate or constitutionally acceptable. Irrational people, in my opinion, don’t see the distinction, and often look for opportunity in tragedy, or evidence to support their belief that any infringement, there’s that sticky word of constitutional ambiguity, is an assault on their personal freedom. But where is the line of social responsibility? What responsibility do we have for the victims, and their families, to make sure that their lives were not lost in vain, and that as a democratic country founded on rights and principles, we don’t look for every opportunity to improve our society in the hard lessons of our history?”
~Steve Scaffidi, mayor of Oak Creek
