if you hear a phrase like “gun violence is now the leading cause of death for american children” and can just go about your day and not feel an ounce of rage or shame, something is incredibly wrong with you

I had a classmate in law school who always pulled out the asinine argument that you can kill someone with a sharpened spoon. “Are we going to outlaw spoons?”
The easy retort was simply, “No. just the sharpened ones.”
Regulating firearms is the responsibility of congress and it can be done without harming the second amendment. It’s already being done everyday.
Every time a good and reasonable effort is made to control (not stop, not ban…control) weapon usage, we get a loud distraction from the right. It is massively effective and it will only stop when we do to Citizens United what the right did to Roe.
Get money out of politics and the pendulum swings back the other way.

Some Wesley cause I finally got around to reading the Angel comic, after several decades of indecision, and it really sucked - they really did my boy Wes dirty 😔

How the government can write up a 590 page report showing how the government failed once again to protect kids and people's responses are to ban guns that kill less than 400 people a year and put more trust in the government
