        Hmm there's gotta be something we could do. WAIT! What if there were no guns? Idk if I'm crazy but I'm pretty sure if you don't have a gun you can't shoot anyone 🤔

        And how do you propose doing that? Making them illegal in the US? What about guns in other parts of the world? The demand isn’t going to go away by passing laws

        Sooooo gun owners should have no say in public policy? That’s who is the NRA is, after all. That’s who sends them money to lobby Congress on their behalf.

        I don't recall saying individual gun owners shouldn't have a say. All im saying is having the NRA as a whole pooring millions into elections works to distort priorities.

        Every lobbying group pours millions into politics, because they represent a constituency. These debates become “I agree with this group, so their money is fine; I don’t like this one, so their money is bad”

        There you go again putting words in my mouth, I actually think no lobbying groups should contribute to political elections, and at the bare minimum full transparency about who does support who is needed

        Furthermore the majority of Americans want stricter gun laws, yet politicians, at least right wing politicians (who tend to take funds from the NRA) continue to ignore this

        Right. I’m wondering if my reply is reading as annoyed or sad. Because it was definitely just supposed to be sad. 😥

        Probably if you’d said “how many more times...” it would have been easier to get that tone (sorry to intrude, it’s just an amiable suggestion)
