        Who’d have thought that controlling access to guns would save lives?

        Actually Obama added mental health checks as a requirement, Trump cut it. So now anybody again can get a gun.

        Funny, California has a 10 waiting period and a way higher murder rate than my state, which does not have a waiting period.

        Waiting periods of more then 50 years make Europe very safe. No guns,,, no deaths. So go ahead killing each other in the US.

        Now think how many could have been prevented with a total ban on all firearms.

        It'd be nice to know but the GOP has blocked any legislation allowing the CDC to study gun violence
