Capital Gazette shooting: This is America. Do something about it

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The writer is a reporter at The Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland.
I watched John McNamara die. I had to step over Wendi Winters to escape. I said "f_" on CNN.

If you're upset about the expletive and not that someone killed almost every editor at The Capital - five people who were deeply loved and irreplaceable - you are not an American.

If your help ends at thoughts and prayers, I don't want them. What I want is action.

I'm not just talking to the president, or our governor, or our elected officials. I'm talking to every single person in this nation.
We must do better. We must vote better. We must push for legislation so that this doesn't feel normal.

Rob Hiaasen, Gerald Fischman, Wendi Winters, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith and thousands of people are dead because of shootings like the one I lived through.

The man who killed the people I love bought his gun legally. His record of stalking and harassment had been expunged. But even if it hadn't been, he still could have bought the gun he used to shoot Rebecca, Wendi, Rob, Gerald and John.

He was legally allowed to plot our deaths and trap us like fish in a barrel.

This is not political. I'm not asking for change as a liberal media puppet. I'm asking for something to be done for the sake of our humanity.
