@KimPerales Pay attention! 👆🏻. #GOP just took majority in #NC. The same NC political party that wants to execute women that seek reproduction health care. This is dangerous. #VoterRights #WomensRights

Why are we still talking about background checks for gun purchases? That already exists. Stop eating up the lie that they need to be enacted.
"Gun control" laws are stricter than voting laws. Seems a bit backwards and not "common sense" to me.
