"This includes an estimated 434 million firearms in civilian possession, with about half, 214 million, of those entering the market since 1991. Of those, "America's Rifle," the AR-15 and @AnastasiaYeager@QueenBeeCanadas#GunReform@threadreaderapp unroll
similar semi-automatics dubbed Modern Sporting Rifles by the NSSF, account for an estimated 19.8 million." Guns.com There has been an explosion in gun sell driven by gun manufacturers since 1991.
They seized control of the NRA and drove gun sales with fear and fear of losing guns, then the Republicans relaxed the laws on guns and they unwilling to correct the problem So we have problems with people getting gun who should not have them. @threadreaderapp unroll

Biden Announces Gun Control Executive Actions, Says Second Amendment Not ‘Absolute’ news.yahoo.com/biden-announce… via @Yahoo
These executive orders will not address gun violence in fact we need to address violence in the nation as a whole. People are the @threadreaderapp unroll
problem. Do people really think that taking guns away will stop violence? It will not. What would come next, bows and arrows, spears, axes, swords, knives, clubs, rocks, or maybe even our hands? We have an angry nation that is filled with hate, stress, and uncertainty.
You can not stop violence by taking weapons you have to address the real problem. We have mental health issues and that needs to be addressed vigorously and it is the pink elephant in the room.
1st we know Trump (w/19K+ lies) and his Admin lie about most things, so it is easy to figure they are lying about when they knew about the Russian bounty on US and Allied Troops. We have to face the fact that we have a @threadreaderapp unroll
weak and corrupt President and Admin. As for what to do about this? Burn the Taliban poppy fields, hunt down anyone involved in this bounty program tried and executed assuming they are guilty.
Put Russia on an enemies list and accept the fact that we are in a de-facto war with Russia. Russia has tampered with our elections, actively interfered in US interest and security with the assistance of Trump, Trump's Administration, and his cronies.
