    I agree. City by city, state by state, we must ban weapons of war. A federal ban is nowhere in sight because Republicans are bought and paid for by the NRA. States could even refuse to do business with any states that continue to sell weapons of war.https://twitter.com/robbynlewis46th/status/964843971959820288 …

    True. You are absolutely right. We do need federal action. To get federal action, we need to elect better people to Congress & the White House. In the meantime, at the state level in Maryland, we will do all that is in our power to protect Marylanders.

        This statement is dangerous within itself. If we do get rid of certain guns and our gov. decides to commit genocide with its own citizens then what? History is supposed to be learned from, history says do not trust your gov. We already complain about our gov now. Imagine us unarm

        Nobody is trying to overthrow anything, learn how to read and discern statements before critiquing. To be armed is to be prepared.

        You said “if the government decides to commit genocide with its own citizens” as though owning the guns we have access to is gonna stop that from occurring. You’re the one not thinking here but go off sis

        Yea if they decide it will be a hell of a lot easier to do when citizens don’t have the means to protect themselves. When’s the last time you seen a bully fight a man who could defend themselves?

        Defend ourselves.. from the government... and their arsenal of weapons. Sir if the government is gonna commit genocide they’re gonna do it whether we have guns or not. Our weaponry is nowhere near the caliber of U.S. weaponry. Period.

        This should be the minimum we demand of anyone running in November 2018 “you’ll get my vote if you’ll vote to ban assault weapons”.

        Why would we trust a government as sinister as the U.S to give us fair and practical gun laws when we can’t even get fair wages, fair housing, fair healthcare or anything else. Only a fool will let his enemies disarm them. Especially black people.

        @ShaunKing if the murder of innocent kids at Sandy Hook didn’t call Republicans to action. Things will never change.

        What about states suing other states for their lax gun laws. Many of the guns used in crimes in states with good gun laws come from places like FL..
