gun industry is making billions of dollars off this cycleWe're told that gun control is useless because new laws will just be pieces of paper that criminals will ignore. However, by the same logic, why have any laws at all? Congress should just pack it in, the courts should close up. Criminals will do what they please.
We may never be able to stop all gun violence, but we can take steps to make it more unlikely. We can at least make it more difficult for people to die by firearm. And this doesn't have to mean getting rid of all guns. Just regulate them.when you ask people about specific firearm regulations, the majority is in favor of most of them—both Republicans and Democrats.
We don't want the mentally ill to be able to buy guns. We don't want suspected terrorists to be able to purchase guns. We don't want convicted criminals to be able to buy guns. We want mandatory background checks for private sales at gun shows.whenever these tragedies occur because they are at the mercy of their donors. The gun industry owns too many elected officials.
In short, we need lawmakers willing to make laws. We need legislators who will represent the overwhelming majority of the public and take sensible action to protect the people of this country.. We need an assault weapons ban. We need to close the gun show loophole. We need buyback programs to get the mountains of firearms off the streets and out of the arsenals of a handful of paranoid"survivalists."At this point there is simply no excuse.Our work is licensed under Creative Commons .
Can't piss off the right and sign EO's today 😡 Pathetic that we talk and take no action. If the courts want an absolute wA they can eliminate gun bans in federal courts. Think they're going to risk their safety. Biden needs to play hard ball. EnoughIsEnough
Let’s all understand that elementary kids applied their training in a horrific school shooting, being silent, calling 911, using blood from a dead classmate to appear dead, while trained police officers with guns and body armor sat outside the door and let them be executed.
