There are lawmakers and citizens in this country who think having an assault weapon is more important than the life of a child.

As a veteran I can tell you there is no reason for a private citizen to own an assault weapon. They are useless for hunting, horrible for personal protection. They are designed for, and best suited for killing people in combat situations.

We protect many animals and sealife from predatory humans by laws that protect them. Yet, we cannot give the same to our children. There is something so wrong about that.

I ended a long time friendship once because he told me, "school children are just unfortunate collateral damage for our 2nd Amd. rights."

It's more important than your child or my child. Just not theirs. Because that would be a tragedy.

Well, the gun manufacturers give them money, the child doesn't. Sadly I think that's all the explanation you need.

That is the crux of the matter. Their children are protected and the gop doesn’t care about anyone else

I argued with a guy I used to work with - he had 3 assault type weapons - his justifications: *I’m an American - it’s my right! *It’s fun to blow watermelons to smithereens *only mentally ill people are a problem to have one Weapons of war have no place in our society, period! 😔

Yes, Republican lawmakers and ammosexuals love, Love, LOVE assualt weapons more than children. Reminder . . . Every Democratic Congressperson voted for the assault weapon ban and against weapon manufacturer immunity. Republicans lapsed the weapons ban and gave immunity to gun manufacturers.

After Uvalde, I asked a man on Twitter: If you saw a little girl, and knew her life would be saved if you gave up your assault rifle, would you do it? And he said no.

GOP lawmakers refuse bipartisan gun control legislation. Their mega-wealthy donors include gun profiteers/NRA. It’s unconscionable how easy it is for civilians to buy an assault weapon. These mass murdering killing machines were designed for military use; for war!
