90 percent of Americans want universal background checks and most Republican Senators won't even allow that. That's how much power the NRA has in Congress. nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

I don't know how everybody else feels but I'd like America to be a country again. It doesn't belong to the NRA and frankly that they hold that much power is dangerous. If the NRA needs to be destroyed for us to be a country again so be it.

if you look at the sales for new gun ownership I believe this is absolutely fake. people may say that but their wallets and closets say otherwise. theres no way 90 percent of Americans agree on anything we are way to hateful of a nation for that

It does seem odd that all elected officials get into office running on civilian popular ideas, & then make policies that are corporate popular ideas.

The nra really ain’t shit anymore. We don’t want congress to actually pass it because it doesn’t stop at “universal background checks”

Just forget about electing #spineless @SenateGOP. Why not just appoint Carolyn D. Meadows of the #NRA? @tedcruz @LeaderMcConnell

#NRA lies KILL Americans. Mens violence targets Women & children. We need: ✅Nat’l Safe gun ownership legislation with 21 age min ✅ @POTUS to direct archivist to publish #ERA for Womens constitutional equality ✅Nat’l Adverse Childhood Experience PREVENTION training all schools

How is it even legal for companies/ corporations/ private interest groups to be financing politicians? They should not be allowed to take money from banks/ oil companies/ weapons contractors, etc... Our government is so corrupted, it looks like no positive progress can be made

That is already the law. What we don't want is a national gun registration requirement
