We need to keep struggling. Go to the march. Register voters. Call your congresspeople.

But stay positive. Rational gun views are winning. We’re going to defeat the insane greed and selfishness of gun manufacturers who put their own enrichment over kids lives. The tide is turning.

You have a good Sunday too!

Trump could do what he wants on gun. He will never do enough but the gun onanists have nowhere to go.

Voters under 30 are kryptonite to the GOP— they’re massively progressive and also have terrible low voter turnout.

The gun debate is getting those kids motivated to vote. That will hit the GOP like a ton of bricks. Our challenge will be to keep those kids coming back in 2022 and 2024.
