2 things you can do about gun control...
from Pete Bittigieg:
...we are the only country in the world with more guns than people. It’s clear Washington has been captured by special interests that no longer reflect the American people. We need to do more than offer our words, we need to act to make all Americans safer.Here are two things you can do right now:1.) Call your Senators and leave them a voicemail. Tell them your name and where you live, and that you’re calling to demand they push for the common sense gun legislation that the majority of Americans want. Dial 877-615-7198 and we’ll connect you.2.) Please consider making a donation to Moms Demand Action. Moms Demand Action is a group founded the day after the Sandy Hook tragedy. Since then, they have worked tirelessly in communities across our country, mobilizing grassroots supporters and advocating for gun control laws that will keep families safe.Thank you,Pete for America

Here's something else you can do...and it's soooo simple.
Mitch McConnell has been sitting on S.42 for 210 days and refuses to bring it to a vote. This bill would provide for background checks before purchasing a gun. March For Our Lives has created a form letter that you can email to him to demand that he bring the bill to a vote. All you need to do is fill in your information. Click on this link to send your email to McConnell.

I believe if minorities in this country started their own NRA- type organization and called for their followers to "arm" themselves and take back their country, there would be republicans calling for gun control so fast your head would spin.

Maybe Native Americans should call their people to arm themselves and take back their country. They are after all the original American. The rest of us are descended from immigrants.

Respectfully, one exception....African Americans did not come here as immigrants originally. They were dragged here as slaves and were never afforded the same opportunities as newly arrived immigrants.
I agree, teluog....and cossy, I will make those calls tomorrow. Thanks so much for the information.
