Assault weapon attacks are as inevitable as hurricanes says the gun lobby and lawmakers cosign the intelligence-insulting propaganda. No laws will stop these attacks say both the lobby and lawmakers as if weekly AR-15 massacres happen in other countries.

 

Exposure to lead causes high blood pressure, digestive problems, nerve disorders, memory and concentration problems and muscle and joint pain, particularly in young children. That's why it's banned. Expose to secondhand smoke causes an estimated 46,000 heart disease deaths a year in adult nonsmokers in the United States. It increases the risk of heart disease by 25 to 30 percent. That's why its banned in public. Almost 3,000 people died on 9/11 which is why eight comprehensive new laws were immediately passed.

 

But the same lawmakers who protect us from dangerous cribs and salmonella in lettuce   allow innocent people to be killed in airports, movie theatres and schools because they won't stand up to gun lobby leaders. Or should that be gun lobby "dons"?

 

 

Are you DONE ASKING for sane gun laws? Force them! Join the thousands making the TELL AND COMPEL -   pledge.
