@mrushton78 @MartinWellbour1 1. After decades of hyperbole, I'm still at a loss as to exactly what laws the Democrats want to address gun violence. In nearly every mass shooting, guns were acquired legally and nothing I've heard proposed would have stopped it.

@mrushton78 @MartinWellbour1 2. The US has far more liberty than other countries and that gives people with bad intentions a lot more latitude to do these things. Are you willing to give up liberty for tighter gun laws?

@mrushton78 @MartinWellbour1 3. You'll find that even with our unmatched liberty, America's gun violence is actually lower than other countries around the world:

@mrushton78 @MartinWellbour1 4. Meanwhile, the gun violence rate in America has actually been falling over the past decades while gun ownership goes up.

BTW, the 250 mass shooting figure is untrue (please send link)

@mrushton78 @MartinWellbour1 5. If Democrats really felt so strongly about gun violence, there would be a MUCH louder outcry for the constant gun violence in inner cities like Chicago & Baltimore where there are double-digit number of shooting victims every single weekend.

Seriously, where's the outrage?

@mrushton78 @MartinWellbour1 6. I'll leave it there. I'm all for reducing gun violence. I'm all for rooting out domestic terror (including white supremacists). I'm all for things that will make a difference and not just trade our liberty for hollow talking points.

End.
