Wow! It’s a great thing we live in a society where elected officials support legislation supported by voters and not by lobbyists. Oh wait…

It is huge, but the funding of our leaders by the NRA supersedes any logical reasoning the public has had for years.

So the government gets access to my medical records. So much for HIPAA. Don't you think this will dissuade people from seeking mental health care which will make the problem worse?

People are way more likely to sacrifice their lives for children than their guns. People literally value owning a gun more than they value their own lives. What a world

If it comes from Fox News or any other MSM outlet. It's not huge news. It's biased propaganda to distract us.

We are a Constitutional Republic, not a popularity contest. These polls don't matter. Those laws would be unconstitutional. "The 2A takes the legislative experiment off the table." Change the Constitution. Takes 2/3 majority. Good luck. And you're running for President? Hard no.
