Feeling helpless in the face of opposition to real gun control?

I know a lot of people are stating with full assurance that no legal change is possible for gun rights. Take heart in remembering that for gay marriage the pendulum swung so hard and so fast that the media pundits are still in total confusion about the pace of change. I believe our nation has reached the tipping point in many things and we are going to make it a better one than that so recently forged by the Republicans and the 1%. Step forward and speak your own truth to make it better.

A right to the means of convenient murder?

Depriving others of all their genuine rights at the whim of shooter?

Scoff with absolute confidence at any such claim.
