I've been waiting for action since Columbine happened my senior year of high school.
Hopefully they will vote and run to hold Alex Jones and his gop cronies accountable
Please consider going into poly-sci/law/history, keep your nose relatively clean, and try to run for office.
‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
We need to stop using the term "assault weapon" and commit to being specific. Ban mags over 10 rounds, restrict barrel lengths and calibers, implement a fucking license system, but stop calling for "assault weapon" bans.
That's what leads to the situation up here in Canada, where guns are restricted based on how they look and not their killing potential.
IMHO it'll be easier to convince Americans to support universal mental health care than to convince them to give up machine guns.
Considering machine guns have been illegal since the 30s, youre probably right
