I agree with Booker & Harris: it’s time to up the fight against NRA obstruction towards common sense gun safety legislation. We MUST AND WILL have universal background checks, outlaw bump stocks & ban military assault weapons. Also why I think we should lower the voting age to 16

Marianne, what you and many others don't seem to understand is the NRA is about 6,000,000 people who have hired the NRA to fight the lefts unconstitutional attacks on gun rights! You said ban assault weapons. How do you interpret this? This is specifically talking assault weapons

I don’t attack the Second Amendment. I don’t attack the right to own a car either, but I believe there should be traffic laws.

16-year-olds in this country live with a risk of gun violence and other possible dangers more than older people do, and they should have a chance to weigh in on who makes public policies that affect them. Younger people are much smarter today & in many ways we have failed them.

Children of that age do not have fully developed prefrontal cortices and are not ready for such weighty decisions. I’ll be interested to know why you feel they are.

I was at a high school today and as I walked down the hall and viewed their art, their projects & talked to the students, I felt I was around more conscious, alert, and imaginative energy than I feel around most adults. Seriously. Have we not failed them?

Vote at age 16? Use your common sense, Marianne. For someone who talks a big "consciousness" game this is comatose thinking. Unless your party's that hard up for votes? In which case, you're simply a sick, desperate, liar like the rest of them. Let's be brutally honest about it.

I disagree, after working with youth for 20 yrs and home schooling 4 children, we need to let kids be kids. They are under enough pressure as it is. You are absolutely mistaken, please seek other professional advice regarding.

Option 3: Mandating every gun owner to be a member of the NRA. Then they are all registrated and have done a course in safety.
