AOC is apparently causing concern trolling trouble as regards the Murphy-Cornyn bill:

If AOC is trying to insinuate that the Murphy-Cornyn Bill on gun control could "risk harm" to working class communities in the Bronx and Queens - because it could prevent young men 18-21 with juvenile records from purchasing guns, she must have a few screws loose. https://t.co/Y6ZzgsObin

No one is going to prison as a result of the Murphy-Cornyn gun control legislation - no one - not unless they are trafficking guns across state lines or intentionally selling guns to people with criminal records.

AOC's concern-trolling about minors going to prison is garbage.
— Chester A. Arthur (@ZacAKAMadu) June 14, 2022

AOC's concern-trolling is actively harmful because she is spreading misinformation that could lead to the defeat of the most significant federal gun control legislation in 28 years.

The NRA already has enough lobbyists, AOC is giving them faux social justice air cover.

adding these replies because they suggest wassup with that:

Yes. I want young men between the ages of 18-25 with juvvie records to find it hard AF to purchase a gun legally. More please.

Senator Chris Murphy announcing a deal an hour ago:

NEWS: We have a deal. Today a bipartisan group of 20 Senators (10 D and 10 R) is announcing a breakthrough agreement on gun violence - the first in 30 years - that will save lives.

I think you’ll be surprised at the scope of our framework.

1/ Here’s what it includes:
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) June 12, 2022

2/ Major funding to help states pass and implement crisis intervention orders (red flag laws) that will allow law enforcement to temporarily take dangerous weapons away from people who pose a danger to others or themselves.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) June 12, 2022

3/ Billions in new funding for mental health and school safety, including money for the national build out of community mental health clinics.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) June 12, 2022

4/ Close the “boyfriend loophole”, so that no domestic abuser - a spouse OR a serious dating partner - can buy a gun if they are convicted of abuse against their partner.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) June 12, 2022

5/ First ever federal law against gun trafficking and straw purchasing. This will be a difference making tool to stop the flow of illegal guns into cities.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) June 12, 2022

6/ Enhanced background check for under 21 gun buyers and a short pause to conduct the check. Young buyers can get the gun only after the enhanced check is completed.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) June 12, 2022

7/ Clarification of the laws regarding who needs to register as a licensed gun dealer, to make sure all truly commercial sellers are doing background checks.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) June 12, 2022

8/ Will this bill do everything we need to end our nation’s gun violence epidemic? No. But it’s real, meaningful progress. And it breaks a 30 year log jam, demonstrating that Democrats and Republicans can work together in a way that truly saves lives.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) June 12, 2022

9/ So grateful to @JohnCornyn @kyrstensinema @SenThomTillis @SenToomey @Sen_JoeManchin @SenBlumenthal @SenatorCollins @LindseyGrahamSC @ChrisCoons @TeamHeinrich @BillCassidy and others for their amazing work to get us this far.
— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) June 12, 2022

10/ Drafting this law and passing it through both chambers will not be easy. We have a long way before this gets to the President’s desk. But with your help and activism, we can get this done. This time, failure cannot be an option.

An attorney who failed to secure firearms in his law office is responsible for a shooting spree that left one man dead and a deputy sheriff severely wounded with a shot to the face, claims a lawsuit made available Tuesday in San Luis Obispo Superior Court. https://t.co/XLSwz2cYZk

"LEARNING FROM ANDY POLLACK'S TRAGEDY COULD PREVENT YOUR OWN"

By Orion on Wed, 06/08/2022 - 11:35pm |

I have posted about Byrna before. They market a non-lethal gun that is available for use in security and law enforcement situations. Byrna has put together something called a "Byrna School Safety Plan."

Also the "Parents Demand for Action" Letter Template.

Ultimately, this is the sort of thing I was talking about with progressive alternatives. The whole appeal to people having weapons in the first place was to keep them and their loved ones safe. By acting like the scourge of school shootings is not a problem at all, the NRA is providing an opportunity to organizations like Byrna to take the torch from them.
