1. The right-wing gun lobby

will never concede that there are too many guns on our streets, in too many wrong hands, for all of the wrong reasons. Their call for everyone to be armed for "self defense" resulted in the mass showing of armed idiots at the BLM standoff in Nevada recently, and will only get worse as more and more guns are sold to anyone who can pass a very minimal background check, and in some cases no background check. These ass clowns actually believe that they belong to some sort of patriotic "militia," but it's really just an excuse to walk around with a gun and feel important for once in their miserable lives.

The Second Amendment absolutist legal decisions that allow this proliferation of deadly weapons in our communities and on our streets has been bought and paid for by right-wing political influencers, and reaches as high as the Supreme Court. Only when Liberal Democrats regain political control at all levels of our government will the gun insanity in this country be curtailed.

Support a Gun Control organization of your choice in any way that you can. The right-wing gun lobby is loud, arrogant, and well financed, but we must counter them at all costs. Do your part to save a life today.
