The interviews with the children from the gov that can't even read what they wrote is sad. Its even on 11X17 paper. Who writes a letter on that?
Total BS.
Total BS.

The two proceeded to discuss certain gun control measures and Schumer’s intention to “push hard” to get them passed.
The Huffington Post summarizes:
The New York Democrat [said] that when he worked on the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, which went into effect in 1994, the NRA “had such power that they filled it up with loopholes.” The Brady Law required background checks for firearm purchasers.
“Now 40 percent of the guns that are sold in America have no check, even felons can get them,” Schumer said. “If we can plug that up, that would be great.”
Schumer told HuffPost Live he would like to see the number of bullets in a clip limited and assault weapons banned as well, but that he thinks universal background checks will probably be the easiest measure to pass through the House and the one that would have the most impact.
“We’re going to push hard to get that one done and even through the House,” he said.
The NRA says its membership has grown by roughly 250,000 people in just the past month. On Saturday, thousands of Second Amendment supporters rallied across the country in support of their rights.
Outrageous. As is this -

Propaganda and polarization. We need to speak up against against this power grab - Universal background checks especially. "No-nothingism" is on the rise especially in our population centers on the east and west coast. We are in danger of being outnumbered as this trend continues. In the big picture it doesn't matter that we hold the heartland if control of the vote goes to the coasts.
