    Do we have a record, an account, of politicians who support a total ban on assault weapons and other weapons of war?

        We know @SenSanders voted with the @NRA because in his words "people in Vermont use guns for hunting but people in Chicago use guns for crimes." What could've he meant by that?🤔

        Here's how US Senators voted on a ban on assault weapons in 2013. Everyone should call these senators who voted "nay", against an assault weapons ban, and call them often: 202-224-3121.pic.twitter.com/dMm2pugepL

        I voted for Deborah Ross in NC, who supports background checks, but as you can imagine, this is what happened: https://www.nraila.org/articles/20161007/nra-launches-new-seven-figure-ad-buy-in-north-carolinas-us-senate-race … 1/

        I think we also need to determine who the NRA has already pushed out.

        We MUST, as #Liberals, support & vote for ALL candidates who support an assault weapon ban. For too long the @NRA has made such candidates difficult, if not impossible, to elect. This needs to be our single issue voting consideration, just as #Conservatives do on Choice.

        None. Anything used to assault is an assault weapon. If you’re speaking of the AR-15, it’s not used by the military. In war, everything is used as a weapon-planes, helicopters, pistols, hands and fists are all “weapons of war.”

        I used to worry about that too. But are you truly willing to go to war with our military? Do you want our own military bombing us? We'll end up like Syria! Our population is large with incredible buying power! There are better ways to effect change without destroying our country.
