Ten dead in Monterey Park, CA, during a Lunar New Year celebration. It’s the 25th mass shooting this month. This is a sickness. When will America have the leadership to stop this relentless horror?
@StevenBeschloss Not as long as the NRA has nonprofit status, Fox "News" /Murdoch isn't held accountable, Houses of Worship spreading political b.s. from their pulpits, a brainwashed weak and gullible toxic constituency believing guns are worth more than lives.

@StevenBeschloss

....... when citizens vote for politicians who have a gun control record!

@StevenBeschloss

... when those in power run every lobbyist out of Washington DC! There is no issue that isn't touched by $$$ and the American people can't see it, don't understand it!

Congress will never touch lobbyists or PAC because they are the beneficiaries!!

@StevenBeschloss I’m afraid leadership won’t move the mountain until we end the massive propaganda at work here. It’s the root of so much harm. 1A was never intended to protect such crimes.
@StevenBeschloss never bc the god,guns,glory folks do most the voting

@StevenBeschloss

They're engaged in civil war. This won't stop until we recognize that and act accordingly.

@StevenBeschloss
When we educate the paranoid mindless minions.
@StevenBeschloss
And when will people agree it’s the guns. The UK has a gun death per capita rate 1/100th of the US and a violent crime rate of 1/6th.
@StevenBeschloss As soon as Americans realize this isn’t madness, it’s an attack.

@StevenBeschloss I would not lift a finger in opposition to a repeal of the 2nd Amendment, especially after its mutilation by Scalia in Heller.

The logic of the Dobbs decision (overturning Roe) was to leave the matter to political forces in each state. That seems a reasonable thing to do for modern firearms.

@StevenBeschloss if only there was something that could be done about this….
@StevenBeschloss That, sir, is the question. “Get out and vote” means nothing if the government you vote for is too cowardly to stand up for this fight.
