John Lennon was shot and killed in 1980, This was the first time I'd heard of the term "gun control." After President Ronald Reagan was shot, it became a nation issue in the United States.Why was gun control not so important when my father was killed?Do people believe that their social standing shield them from grief and tragedy?I don't believe grief considers who you are when it decides to strike.
