Chris Smith on El Paso and Dayton f t # e HAMILTON, NJ, Aug 4, 2019 Words are inadequate to convey my profound sadness and empathy to the grieving families and friends over the loss of their loved ones in El Paso and Daytonand deep gratitude to law enforcement for their selfless heroism. Comprehensive background checks and an assault weapons ban are likely to make people safer and ought to be enacted by Congress. But regrettably, something is radically broken in the hearts, minds, and souls of these mass murderers. And they are not alone. The culture of violence and its glorification is consuming our society and begs a major correction and serious intervention by everyone of good willincluding families, schools, public officials at every level, community leaders, the media, Hollywood, and religious leaders of every faith and creed. f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
