Dear Editor:
Responding to Rep. Marsh’s recounting of the TN 3 episode.
Rep. Marsh and other legislators have taken for granted their right to do as they please, handle citizens’ matters/problems as they please and when they please if ever they will.
What could have been more important on the legislative agenda than to immediately answer Tennessee citizens’ plea for elected legislators to stop insane killings? Marsh attacked TN 3 for interrupting their sessions. How else could the TN 3 get their attention? Being new Rep’s they are shut down-not to speak unless called upon. That’s decorum? Well decorum is also decency, tact and gentility. They were not shown any, only to hurry and as Marsh said “kick them out”.
Marsh is heavy for decorum-offering words but no action to halt the murdering of innocent human beings. The killings at Covenant School? Words will not end the senseless murders. Banning AR15 war weapons will. But Rep Marsh and his cohorts did/do absolutely nothing. They say it isn’t on their agenda. Well they better make sure it is. Every police person is in danger for their life because of the AR15 war guns, but it matters not to Marsh and his cohorts as they must owe their allegiance to NRA gun lobbies. Shame on them. They think of themselves not their constituents. If it truly mattered it would have been the #1 priority on their agenda.
No one is saying do away with your guns, but people across this nation have pleaded with Republicans/Democrats/Independents to do away with the AR15 weapon. Doctors have told how the bullets turn bones to powder with no hope for saving. Yet our elected persons turn a deaf ear. They sit in their comfy leather chairs and refuse to debate their reasons for keeping AR15’s on the open market. That is not democracy-it’s old persons set in their ways that refuse change when change is all around them. “Kick them out.”
Question, Rep Marsh…What are you going to do? Don’t say mental health because one way or the other we all have a little crazy in us. WON’T YOU PLEASE PUSH TO BAN AR15 WAR WEAPONS in Tennessee? Maybe our 2 Senators will follow same in Washington DC. P L E A S E.
