Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May, center, gestures Wednesday at a rally while on the general election campaign trail, in Birmingham, England. Voters were asked to choose: Who is best to keep the U.K. safe? Stefan Rousseau AP

So, after the latest terror attack in London, our leaders once again are saying we will not be defeated, we will stand together and light another candle. That will for sure stop them.

The Prime Minister of England has said “enough is enough!” She should have said this after the first terror attack. So what are they going to do? What our leaders have done so far has not worked. Doesn’t common sense say “let’s put a temporary ban on people coming from terrorist countries so that we can vet them more,” or has common sense gone out the window?
