    47 people are shot and killed by others every day in the United States. This was just one of many today.

    Common-sense gun reforms are immensely popular including 87% supporting universal background checks.

    Perhaps it’s time for Republicans to stop being beholden to special interests protecting murderers and get onboard with what Americans want.

      At one point, maybe.

      But the last thing we need right now is Republicans starting some registry and deciding who’s allowed to defend themselves and who isn’t.

      They’ll probably make a move like that, and you can bet it’ll be to the tune of “think of all the children (we suddenly care about)”. Just like their move to mass censor the Internet.
