@jemelehill You be in the most unimportant battles for a black woman in your position. Stop drinking this DNC Kool Aid, please.
I wish it was just easy enough to ban guns but that would create a black market just like the prohibition & crime would increase because now criminals know people aren’t armed. These psychos will find guns, knives, cars or whatever weapons they can. We have a people problem…I don’t know how to fix crazy and these events are awful. Like I said I wish banning guns would do the trick but it won’t and that’s the saddest part to me. God be with those poor families.
@jemelehill @TinaMarie_80s "america" never found it bearable - but republicans who'd gerrymandered their districts wormed their way into key positions and have managed to keep the will of americans at bay while being well funded by those who make and sell the weapons americans want banned and controlled.
@jemelehill Millions of us are doing something. In Illinois we banned assault weapons. We focus on prevention & we’re investing in the communities most impacted. We voted out the governor who vetoed reforms. Leaders like @GovPritzker @ILAttyGeneral @SpeakerWelchIL @DonHarmonIL got it done!
@jemelehill America didn't decide, tho. "After the slaughter @ Sandy Hook, the Senate voted 54-46 in favor of an amendment on background checks. Those 54 senators, representing 63% of the population, were not enough to overcome an opposition speaking for just 37% of the nation." - EJ.Dionne
@jemelehill Nope. It was over with the ratification of the Second Amendment. Someone needs to read a history book.
@jemelehill You don’t care about children or you wouldn’t support abortion.
