[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too many people are willingly misreading the Second Amendment and voting in equally ignorant people. 2E calls for a "well-regulated militia." At some point this became the idea that unregulated, unfettered access to guns of all types is a Constitutional right. A significant portion of our population really believes that's what the 2E says. 
We the people won't be free of gun violence until we can overcome the ignorance, the intentional misunderstandings, the crazy conspiracy ideas that so many believe in. And that won't happen without a well-educated public, which in itself can't happen without Republican buy-in to strong public schools. For now, our best bet is to use our VOTE. [/quote]

400 million guns. You aren't voting them away. [/quote]
So we’re not going to try? This all or nothing is just an attempt to keep feeling hopeless.

We’ll guess what, we aren’t hopeless. Every single one of us has agency. We need to be talking to friends and family about need for some, any gun safety legislation. We need support gun safety candidates up & down ballot. We need to vote.

Will this happen overnight? No. But look at what MI has done this year. Put Dems in power and we will save lives.[/quote]

Nothing is going to change as long as the good old south and fly over states keep electing republicans which they will because they lack brain cells. The blue states even the ones in the Midwest can do whatever they want, as long as the federal government is evenly divided, we can’t expect the passage of any meaningful gun legislation such as banning assault weapons. [/quote]

Don't blame the south. Chicago, Detroit, New York City and many other violent cities are not in the south.[/quote]

You completely missed the PP point. It's the red states that are preventing the solutions to these problems at the federal level. [/quote]

Thank Gawd for that!  Federal and solutions don't go well together.[/quote]
