    Lol and you’re a mouth piece for emotional ignorance…you even saying no one is touching your handguns when 95% of all gun deaths are via handguns…rifles of all kinds are around 3% of all gun deaths, and then the AR style rifles make up around 50 deaths a year…50…more kids are killed by being punched and kicked to death by an order of magnitude 10xs the amount done via AR pattern rifles.

    Wanna actually do something to help, stop focusing on guns, you’re not going to stop the violence that way. Focus on:

    We can start with:

    • Single payer healthcare

    • Ending the War on Drugs

    • Ending Qualified immunity

    • Properly funding our schools and not just rich white suburb schools.

    • Build more schools and hire more teachers for proper pay so the class room sizes aren’t 30-40 kids for one teacher.

    • UBI (at least start talking about it) once AI takes over most of the blue collar jobs.

    • End for profit prisons

    • Enforce the laws already on the books

    • Make sure there are safety nets for poor families so the kids don’t turn to violence/gangs to survive.

    • Increase the minimum wage

    • Recreate our mental healthcare so kids don’t turn to the internet for support. And to help veterans not end up as a suicide number.

    • Actively make a law to solidify Pro-choice rights. More unwanted children do not help our situation.

    • Banning Insider Trading for Congress

    • Term limits

    • Ranked Choice Voting so we can move away from a 2 party system
