The issue of gun safety, of course, is that the NRA has us in a chokehold. But so do the pharmaceutical companies, so do the health insurance companies, so do the fossil fuel companies and so do the defense contractors.

And none of this will change until we either pass a constitutional amendment or pass legislation that establishes public funding for federal campaigns.

But for politicians, including my fellow candidates, who themselves have taken tens of thousands--and in some cases--hundreds of thousands of dollars from these same corporate donors... #BigTruth #DemDebate

...to think that they now have the moral authority to say we're going to take them on, I don't think the Democratic Party should be surprised that so many Americans believe “yada, yada, yada.” #BigTruth #DemDebate

The 2nd Amendment permits US citizens to bear arms. This has nothing to do with the NRA cause it was written down before the NRA existed.

Conveniently leaves out tech companies witch have the strongest stranglehold on us

Yep you got that right

I really like your message. You aren't going to win this race though. PLEASE run for a different office, we need people like you. Your reparations quote was spot on. You should drop out here and throw your hat into another ring, congress or senate. YOU are AMAZING!

What about the real issue for all the mass shootings....mental illness! Why does our country continue to ignore the cause and target guns like this problem will go away. It will only get worst!
Replying to @marwilliamson
NRA doesn’t have you in a chokehold, the American people do. Nobody is taking you seriously! America is laughing at you and your campaign.

I am an American citizen who wants to keep his firearm to protect my family, myself, & my community. I donate to the NRA to support me and fight you. Stop inflating them as anything more than the lobbying arm of American citizens who support the 2nd Amendment.
