Previously mass shootings boosted gun sales.; regulation fears. That changed.

Gun buyers hadn't reacted to shootings like that since Trump took office. Background checks declined after shootings on 10/2017 in Vegas and 11/2017 in TX.

[More] Fears were mostly in check since Republicans controlled the WH and Congress at the time.

After the Parkland, Florida shooting there was quite a bit of talk about the need for gun control — much prompted by MSD students. Momentum built.

What was a hoax?
Trump claims it wasn’t the coronavirus he was referring to but Democrats finding fault with his actions regarding it.

There is a controversy as Trump is claiming an ad by Democrats is making a false claim. 1/14
In the ad is included a clip of Trump saying “it’s a hoax!” But what did people think he was saying? In the context of Trump’s previous comments and fabrications during his tenure, many believed he was referring to the potential threat of the coronavirus.

Even his base.
2/14
On social media, his supporters would make claims that demands for response to the public health threat were based on a hoax. There was no threat of a viral spread. That the threat of a viral epidemic was intended to impact Trump’s reelection or simply attack him. 3/14

@smithatbd9211 1/6 What is Coronavirus (nCoV) and Influenza?

Coronavirus and influenza virus both represent family of viruses. However, Coronavirus is a large family of viruses that is far more serious and fatal. Signs of infection are similar in case of both the viruses.
@smithatbd9211 2/6 However, coronavirus can cause pneumonia, kidney failure and even death. The worrying part is that there is no vaccine available for coronavirus infection.

What is Coronavirus (nCoV)?
@smithatbd9211 3/6 Coronaviruses – that gets its name from ‘crown’ of sugary-proteins were first time reported and identified in the 1960s. But it is still unknown where did this virus come from. In many cases, a coronavirus (CoV) can infect both humans and animals.

#GiveUsAVote! The American people deserve to have real representation. In a recent poll 97% favor background checks.

H.R.8 - Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019

It’s time #MoscowMitch acted for the good of the people rather than for the NRA and Putin.
#GunConrolNow
How effective are expanded gun background checks?

Academic research offers that background checks have a potential to reduce crime, but in practice, results are mixed.

It is a first step. Do nothing? Close the private sale loophole next.

Here is a fact check and notation of several polls and results on America’s approval of universal background checks for firearms purchases.
