Who have you been talking to? 80 percent of Americans want gun control laws like a universal background check. For a general question of more strict laws support is at 60 percent.
Here's a former Supreme Court judge saying the conservatives have hijacked the second amendment and we in response we should repeal it.
Washington Post reports that around that same period 21 percent of Americans were ready to repeal it.
We're out here, and we're pissed. We just get angrier every time time we see a headline and every time it turns out that common sense gun laws were subverted by people in authority.
People in authority thanks to gerrymandering. The republikkklan party is a fucking joke. If you support them, you're a fucking clown and you're responsible for this kind of shit. I have been hoping for years they'd see the light and realize they're getting played, but here we are.
VOTE!! If you can, volunteer to give rides to those that couldn't vote without it.
make sure to pretend you're doing voter fraud on the internet to piss off conservatives so you can gotcha them
