90 per cent of the American people are on record for wanting expanded background checks, yet Washington does not now reflect the will of the people. The panic and upset about Uvalde seems to not have penetrated the walls of the Capitol. mariannewilliamson.substack.…

Democracy by definition exists when the government implements the will of the people, not the will of privileged cliques! Do we still have a democracy?

It is one small piece of a larger list to resolve this issue: 1. FBI background check, check like for someone buying dynamite. Interviews with family and friends. 2. Minimum 30 day waiting period on all purchases. 3. Complete ban on military assault weapons and body armor.

No we just don’t want to be like Australia or other dictatorships where guns are stripped and tyranny ensues. We see how cops have beat up women there, thrown them against walls for not wearing a mask. Never in America. You will not turn us into a penal colony like that.

Be specific about which politicians are blocking what. Not helpful to say “Washington…”. It’s not all politicians in Congress.

The govt is really bad at doing just about everything, except for keeping airports safe. So, the govt needs to make schools safe like it makes airports safe.

The people want to be able to protect their kids when the police stand around and do nothing.

The fact that Ramos passed a background check doesn’t seem to have penetrated YOUR walls. Background checks do nothing to stop mass shootings—or any other crimes, for that matter. Why keep insisting on something that doesn’t work?
