In the past 72 hours, there have been an additional THREE mass shootings. Nowhere else in the world has such violence flourished under a “free” and democratically elected president. When Bill Clinton banned assault weapons, gun violence bottomed out, but the GOP needed their GI Joe guns more than healthy, live, and uninjured constituents, so they lifted the ban at the end of its term and violence has once again skyrocketed. We know that the ban worked. So why do you sit in congress pretending it didn’t? Why would you not want to protect your families, friends, and neighbors? Who is paying you for our souls? And how much does a soul go for these days?
