Guns are the problem

In the summer of 2021, Texas governor Greg Abbott made purchasing a gun as easy as purchasing a drink at a convivence store, and predictably, an 18-year-old purchased a gun last week without any training, without a license, without a background check and then used that gun to slaughter 19 children and two teachers, AGAIN!

Fourth graders were slaughtered because Republicans made owning a firearm, especially a war weapon like an AR-15, as easy as can be.   

Let me make this clear, there is only one party in America too cowardly to protect elementary-aged school children from being gunned down while they learn, and it is the Republican Party!

Here are the facts that Republican Fascists do not want you to know:

1. Ninety percent of the American public wants a standardized federal background check.

This law would prevent certain states from making it easier for criminals and gang members from purchasing guns in Texas and Indiana and then bringing it elsewhere to sell at a markup or using them to commit crimes in states with real gun safety laws. 

2. Two thirds of the American Public support banning AR-15 style weapons or weapons of war or weapons of mass murder.

This law would not prohibit people from owning handguns for self-defense, and rifles for hunting, it would just get rid of weapons whose sole purpose is to kill and maim people, leaving them little chance of survival. 

3. Everyone, including most NRA members, believe people should be required to have gun safety training before purchasing a firearm. Right now, that is not the case in some red states. 

Why wouldn't people want all so-called responsible gun owners to have knowledge about something as potentially dangerous as a firearm. 

4. There is such a thing as a gun-show loophole, and it needs to be closed. I can purchase any weapon I want at a gun show as long as I am not buying it from a federal licensed dealer. Meaning if I have the cash, I get what I want. Personally, I was at a flea market in Florida, and saw people selling guns and gun parts and ammo to anyone who happened by regardless of whether they were eligible to purchase it or not, or a criminal or not.

ONE PARTY, and ONE PARTY alone, has made it ok to slaughter children in schools, people in churches, concert goers at a country music festival, people at a night club, people in bars, people in Walmart, or folks doing their groceries in Buffalo.

The Republican Fascists will offer their thoughts and prayers, and quite frankly they can shove those where the sun doesn't shine. Thoughts and prayers are a joke and a cliche at this point. You were elected to keep the American people safe. Do your JOB!!!!

As voters, you must vote to remove anyone from office with a A+ rating from the NRA, because what that means is that they refuse to discuss even the most common-sense gun safety legislation. That means they are corrupt because they are completely in the pockets of special interest gun lobby.

Do your job as voters and vote these people out who stand by as people slaughter living and breathing children.

Lastly, I can't help but see the irony that these same fascists who claim to be prolife (really pro birth) will do nothing as children are slaughtered almost daily to protect them.

VOTE ONLY BLUE in 2022. This might be the last ballot you cast if you do not.    

This is what a coward looks like!
