I want the same gun safety legislation every progressive Dem wants, but it’s still an area where we’re talking about symptoms and need to talk about cause. As a society, we will continue to have a problem with violence until we look in the mirror and face how violent we are.

Our environmental policies violent toward the earth. Our foreign policies violent toward Yemen etc. Our economic policies violent toward the poor. Our criminal justice system in many ways as violent as the violent offenders it seeks to punish. And our hearts are too often violent

We need a Department of Peace to promote and co-ordinate the peace builders domestically and internationally. We need to wage peace at home and abroad. marianne2020.com/issues/us-d…

Guns are not the problem. If anything, more law abiding citizens need to learn how to use them for personal self defense. We need to end toxic lifestyles and drugs and vaccines that lead to mental imbalances that lead to violent tendencies and crime.

If Progressives really cared about gun safety, the Eddie Eagle program would be mandatory in every school in the nation.
Replying to @marwilliamson
That is precisely why the government should not be taking people's guns. We should be punishing criminals. We should be teaching morals.

Yes America has a war problem both home & abroad. It seems folks choose to deny/ignore cause & effect. Sad, so so sad.

Indeed. And not just violence. I would respectfully add to the list of causes our tendency to vilify each other in groups when a few people of a particular group act badly. Can we move beyond our culture of blame and shame to reach an understanding of everyone’s flawed humanness?

Who is we? Speak for yourself and your party or family not for mine.

We need to look at how many of these crimes are committed by individuals taking Psych Rx

speaking truth when everyone wants an all too simple soundbite. You don't let fear frame what you say, or what you are willing to let yourself see. respect.
