HOLY SHIT
fuuuuuck
Right now this tweet has almost 6,000 retweets and almost 17,000 likes. (x)
U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) called for repeal of the Dickey Amendment and his tweet has almost 24,000 retweets and about 72,000. (x)
This (x) is a twitter moment about Oregon legislature closing the “boyfriend loophole” in controlling guns. It will prevent a person from purchasing guns if they have an active restraining order or a domestic violence conviction.
Please ask yourself, if you retweet or reblog the tweet in the screenshot, are you actuallly pointing out reality or getting mired in your own echo chamber accusing people of inaction who are acting.
If you ask why Democrats have not repealed the Dickey and Tiahrt Amendments yet, well, they cannot because they have not gotten enough votes to get large enough majorities into Congress at a time when the President will not veto the repeal. Or when they did briefly have a majority (though McConnell was also there back then so there’s a big knife in back going on then), they were laboriously pushing through healthcare reform and perhaps so did you but did you care about gun control? Who is not voting for them or pushing for gun control? I am asking.
