I can feel the passion in your writing Cheryl. You are so right that we need to do something but that seems lost on the people in power. It is so frustrating to live in Iowa right now.

Thank you for writing this column, Cheryl. My hope is that we can move on from the so called “slippery slope” of the gun control conversation which seems to have made things worse and start talking about responsible gun ownership. We expect drivers and cars to be licensed in order to drive. Insurance companies take acts of recklessness into consideration when they price policies which are required to drive a car or own a home or get health insurance. Why can’t we talk about insuring guns which takes into consideration responsibility, licensing and education like cars? Why can’t we just talk?
