3. We are the opposite of Pro-life and pro-child in this country.

It just makes me sick.

A candidate for senate in my state (Ohio) Mike Gibbons, wants to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and he wants to repeal all red flag laws. Because mentally ill people deserve to own death weapons? Obviously he’s never known a neighbor or had a relative whose kid was shot or commented suicide, I guess. I don’t understand these gun worshippers and I guess I never will.

4. We will do nothing about it.

We are a very very sick country.

5. 2-3% of the (adult) population of the US are NRA members and

somehow the rest of us don’t control the conversation on guns? When did the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many happen?

7. I wouldn't say all

The drug gangs doing almost all the killings share a big portion of it considering they are stealing the guns and pulling the triggers.

8. To the gun industry, dead children are merely collateral damage/acceptable losses for gun industry p

To the gun industry, dead children are merely collateral damage/acceptable losses for gun industry profits and political donations.

The NRA used to be for sportsmen, hunters and gun safety.

Now it has become an industry owned shill for the sale of more guns and the enrichment of its leaders.

It's amazing what moves up the list in years when schools are closed, businesses are closed, and children & adolescents spend most of their time near home rather than moving about.
