Guns still plague America like an incurable social disease – and Congress does nothing about it [View all]

by DENIS HAMILL

read it all, but the end is the most powerful part:

“People can be cruel, we just want people to remember Charlie the right way,” said a woman who identified herself as Vacca’s mother-in-law on Wednesday when reached by The News.

And the little girl who killed him must live with the images of deafening gunfire, blood and death as the highlight of what she did on her 2014 summer vacation.

Awful. Shameful. Barbaric.

But guns don’t kill people; people kill people.

Sometimes the person killed is a pro-gun Second Amendment enthusiast and military veteran who was a husband and father and by all accounts a well-liked fella. Sometimes the person who kills someone like Vacca is an innocent 9-year-old girl with a ponytail and pink shorts.

Lock and load that image into the congressional chamber and let it rip.
