Prayers for police officers, all Philadelphians during today’s crisis. Time for fundamental break with past: universal background checks, outlaw bump stocks & assault weapons, close loopholes. Need personal, cultural & political commitment to peace - or the violence will continue

Trump banned bump stocks last year. Plus none of these things would stop this…

But we need more than that. We need to add the question on the paperwork to buy a gun “are you a violent trafficker in narcotics and/or other felonious pursuits” Then we should make trafficking in drugs illegal also. Your clearly on the right track.

You didn't know? Bump Stocks WERE OUTLAWED by TRUMP in 2018! How do you get the mentally ill to "commit to peace?" Presidents, Legislators canNOT control EVIL, no matter how much you preach peace & love. Give it up Marianne.

Define assault weapon. Is it a scary black rifle or any semi-automatic weapon? Virtually all pistols are semi-auto.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Pure political fear-mongering. MURDER is an EXTREMELY rare cause of Death. A RIFLE is an EXTREMELY rare Murder weapon.

Criminals don't get their guns LEGALLY that is why LAWS WON'T DO ANYTHING to solve the problem. Goodness what is it going to take to get this logic through to ya'll?!??
Replying to @marwilliamson
do you really think the drug pushers will committ to peace?
Replying to @marwilliamson
The majority of Americans do not want gun control. If you want to represent the people you should represent the people. We’ve had enough of politicians pushing laws that hurt us.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Instead of enacting a bunch of time consuming and restrictive legislation, couldnt you just "harness love" to defeat gun violence?
