want some level of effort to reduce gun violence. It is also clear that the gunner mentality so very easily manipulated by the gun makers and gun sellers that any meme they produce is a strong motivation for them.

Much to my dismay I have to admit that gun violence AND gun rights are so far down the list of voter's concerns that it simply isn't a factor in elections.

That doesn't mean I'm going to quit working for change or that I'm going away.
