I'm old enough to remember when kids could go to class, a movie, or a parade and not worry about getting shot. Are you?
This year, we can change our ability to get sensible gun laws. Elections also will impact whether Russia is allowed to destabilize the world, women will have autonomy, the US will be filled with internment camps, and the social safety net for aging Americans remains in place.
Don't get distracted by candidate's ages. Every election. Every race. Every Democrat. #VoteBlue
@LouisIngenthron Now look at the data on number of mass shootings over time and post it. Or do you only troll?
@augieray And, yet, strangely, the gun laws tended to be *looser* back then. 🤔
Fwiw, I'm all for reasonable gun control, but that's not going to stop psychopaths from committing psychopathic behaviour to get their face *guaranteed* on every single national news channel in the country and discussed by millions across the planet on social media.
We're going to keep having mass shooters so long as we keep making mass shooters (in)famous.
@LouisIngenthron @augieray Australia and Canada are culturally very similar to the U.S. but have much stricter gun control and dramatically fewer gun deaths. Gun control works.
