@loveallexcludenone I agree but I believe they are too deeply entwined w/GOP politicians AND the NRA. A better approach, in my opinion, is to sue the gun manufacturers AND ammunition manufacturers. We should encourage Democratic lawmakers to limit sales of certain ammunition OR require #MandatoryTracking by #AmmunitionRetailers & #MandatoryReporting to local & #Federal #LawEnforcement. You don’t need 500 rounds for a semi-automatic rifle to hunt ducks. #GunManufacturers #AmmunitionManufacturers
