ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Just last week a targeted mass shooting at a market in Buffalo and now a school shooting in Uvalde. Communities should be safe in their grocery stores, our CHILDREN should be safe in class! This has to end.
Thoughts and prayers aren’t enough. We need change. ?

Y’all bitches REEEFUSE to reckon with the past INCLUDING these outdated gun laws that were put in place when it took 30 fuckin minutes to load a musket and shoot once.
Now anyone can get an automatic weapon and reek havoc, and you still think nothing should be edited.
