Opinion position - Gun Violence

Two mass shootings in one day. One in SC, one in TX. six dead, six hurt combined.

Yet Joel John will tell you the gun is more important than lives because "if you outlaw guns, only outlaws have guns." Yet both of these people were "good people" until they pulled the trigger.

We need common sense gun control laws, and need someone in Phoenix to tell the NRA to go pound sand if they continue down the line they always go.

When is enough going to be enough? Murdering children in schools didn't change things. Steve Scalice getting shot didn't change anything. Enough NRA talking points.

No more mass shooting. No more military grade weapons in the hands of people.

Joel John will say the gun means everything and is more valuable than people's lives.

If elected to the AZ House for LD4, this will be one of my priorities. Joel John doesn't represent us. He represents the NRA. He shouldn't be called John (R-Buckeye). He should be called (R-NRA).

I cant find any info on them yet. I think we jump to conclusions too quickly.

3. Isn't that their mantra? I believe in full frontal assault on their language to destroy them

Using the phrase "good gun owner" against them

Good gun owners, until they did this.
