        Seems pretty simple to me. Ban the sales of assault rifles. For once start protecting the students in schools and stop lining your pockets with NRA funds.

        Probably washing the blood from the 💰 some receive from the NRA and it's lobbyists hoping by the time the 💰is clean every one will have forgotten and therefore their consciences are cleansed again Dollars versus your kids

        Yup let’s start w that. Vans and knives have other uses. Bombs are VERY hard to make bc of science and bc the ingredients aren’t always easy to get. Guns? Well, damn, I’ll just walk up the street and get one!

        A Van I can back out of my garage in & a knife I can pull out of a drawer! Hey, agree assault weapons need to be banned! But do not agree my 38 pistol at home for protection should be.Just want my grandchildren safe in school like our politicians are safe at work in the capital.

        Oh boy... I'v had so many of these convos over the past few days and every single time i've never ONCE said to take or ban all guns. I am always specific to only mention the AR15. EVERY single time a gun owner comes back w this. I never said we want to take handguns. NEVER.
