May 26, 20222 yr If can help save lives, then yes I support Universal Background Checks. That is just one step towards making it safer for children.
May 26, 20222 yr Author It is impossible to eliminate gun crime, or any other crime. That said, there is no reason why we have to make it easier, when simple checks COULD prevent some of these deaths.

May 27, 20222 yr I've bought guns at gun shows and I've bought from dealers, I've even bought guns from the Federal Government (sort of, the CMP) and every single gun that I've ever purchased, required a background check. I even gifted a gun to one of my brothers and he had to go through a background check in order to be able to legally take possession of it. So, what would be different?

May 27, 20222 yr at what point do we figure out that the government cant protect us and that we need to take our protection into our own hands? if im a private school right now, im bumping up security measures and marketing my school as the safest option.

The power to keep a criminal or mentally ill person from possibly obtaining a gun? Odd take.

Hardened cancer centers? all of those places are areas where people are allowed to protect themselves. schools are different and need to be treated and protected as such. even if you outright ban guns, and do mass confiscations, youre not going to get rid of all the guns in america. on top of that, the ability to print or build guns still exists, so there will always be the threat of gun violence. why not put efforts into protecting ourselves and our children from these things and not into trying to legislate a solution?
