Gun in hand, 68 year old woman saves boyfriend in attack

144. You write this like it's a bad thing.

The repub congress.

You also write about the 4 child deaths a day like that's a bad thing that should be addressed.

Well, the repub congress aided by a huge group of corporate democractic legislators is dismantling the safety net, restricting health care, gutting public education, defunding social security, and eliminating the middle class and living wages. I can guarantee that any one of these attacks on the overall safety net and support system will kill many times more babies than guns. Meanwhile, the democratic party platform supports gun ownership and gun regulations.

If you really care about the babies, you should get on board with the democractic party platform and work with democractic party gun owners to get more democratic legislators elected to reverse these trends and save not only the babies lost to no safety net, but save many gun death babies due to a better overall economic and social equality environment which would help reduce crime and fear and mental health issues.

Railing against guns while ignoring the much larger threat to babies makes you feel better and morally superior. However, not only is it unlikely to reduce gun deaths, but it is certainly abetting the forces that are taking many times the lives of babies than guns do. Aim your passion at restoring democractic party principles the the government and nation. Once that is accomplished, I think you'll find that guns will most likely return to their former status of inanimate objects that need to be handled safely.
