Gun Control Reform Activism

“In the 1960s, one home in two had at least one gun. Today, it’s about 30 percent. There are short-term ups and downs, and sometimes you hear about people running out to buy guns after Obama was elected or after a mass shooting. But, by and large, the people buying guns today are people who already own guns and are just adding to their collection.”

As much as the right-wing gun lobby tries to convince themselves that the gun-buying population is growing, it is not. Increasingly, new generations of Americans are recognizing guns for what they are best designed for: killing living things, including humans.

Support Democratic candidates at all levels of government who are not afraid of the gun lobby, and have the courage to sponsor and enact gun control legislation.
