      A lot of people have forgotten in the craziness, but rational, non-NRA-involved gun control is high on the list of the average people’s minds, and has been a political issue in the US since Reconstruction. These days, no one wants to get gunned down at the store or have their kids threatened by school shooters.

      Now that we have some actual progressives, a blue wave, and a neutered NRA, it’s possible.

          Please get the fascists out of office before you disarm the populace.

          We’re already doing that. Did you miss the news or just not like it?

          And it’s not fascists getting shot, it’s everyone else. We need reasonable gun legislation.

          And you know what? Because you personally decided to write this lame ass comment, I will match you by writing my own new Congressional rep and senator to demand that they add sane gun control to their agenda.

          It’s time. Shoot your own goddamn fascists, the ballot box is working for us.

          EDITED to add: of course the opposition to gun control comes from a two-hour old account. Blocked.

            “You don’t need a gun, the government will protect you” sounds pretty damn shitty when you look at the current government.

            Ha ha, what fucking world are you living in that you think this is the end of it? Jesus Christ.
