Vote Out These Death-Dealing, NRA-Enthralled Republicans—Now
We’ve been at this point over and over again in America: will this be the one that punches through the wall of money the NRA and the weapons industry it fronts for wraps around Republicans?President Biden is right. “For God’s Sake,” and our children’s sake, we must do something about gun violence in America. And we must do it now.a mass slaughter on a scale like we saw yesterday in Texas.
And most all of those child gun deaths, mass shootings, and school shootings, which don’t happen in any other developed country in the world, are entirely preventable. A starting point is bringing back the assault weapons ban that Bill Clinton got passed in 1996 and George W. Bush let expire in 2006.For example, back in the early years of the 20th century when cars had become so common they were regularly killing people in auto accidents, states hit on a simple formula to encourage safe driving and maintain clear lines of responsibility when things went wrong.
*And every driver was required to carry liability insurance, so if there was an accident the victims were covered, regardless of who was at fault. The only city in America who’s taken a cue from that century of insurance experience is San Jose, California which in 2021 put a liability insurance requirement into place for all gun owners in the city.
