Rather than an #AssaultWeaponBan which only plays well with people who watch MSNBC 23 hours a day and has zero chance of ever working even if enacted, IMO push to license gun ownership: require training/insurance like driving a car. Double down on the #WellRegulated bit. It still won't pass but it shifts the #OvertonWindow realistically.

"A ban on dozens of semi-automatic rifles cleared the Washington state Legislature on Wednesday and the governor is expected to sign it into law.

The high-powered firearms — once banned nationwide — are now the weapon of choice among young men responsible for most of the country’s devastating mass shootings.

The ban comes after multiple failed attempts in the state’s Legislature, and amid the most mass shootings during the first 100 days of a calendar year since 2009."

Nice sketch, but let’s zoom out a bit. It’s just “thoughts and prayers” in art form. Unless you’re an actual child… don’t come near me with this useless bullshit. The power of prayer didn’t stop bullets from an assault rifle from ripping three children to shreds as they attended a Christian school. It hasn’t stopped the slaughter thousands of American schoolchildren from sharing the same fate.

This is a case of doing nothing, does nothing. When the problem is how frequently and easily anyone gets a gun and murders kids, doing nothing is worse that empty gestures. It’s enabling the killers and inching the next batch of innocents toward the meat grinder. This will happen again and again, and for the worst possible reason… because there’s money in it.

You have a Constitutional right to own a musket as part of a well-regulated militia. That's it.

The rest of us have the right to use laws and government regulations to protect the common welfare.
Reinstate the #AssaultWeaponBan

How many more times? How many more innocents are going to be sacrificed?

So Illinois banned assault weapons and all the sheriffs in my area immediately put out statements that they will not enforce it.

What about all those people in HIghland Park??

These weapons are so often purchased legally and used illegally.

If shop owners stop selling them and it saves even one life, it's worthwhile.

Of course there is another #massshooting, and there simply aren’t enough Richard Fierros to stop it (and he already declared that regardless of how many lives he saved, five people were shot dead and that’s not winning).

Hoping the next one doesn’t touch your family isn’t a strategy. Obvs there needs to be an #AssaultWeaponBan, but we also have to enforce #RedFlag laws on the books now. And we need to stop doing business with those profiting off weapon trafficking.
