            Poverty is the real problem. Everything else is Band-Aid…which can be effective in stopping some of the bleeding. Its just the only tool the ownership class can accept

              Owner class would love nothing more than to disarm the working class.

                Gun ownership is growing fastest among non traditional gun owners. LGBTQ, Latinos, Black people. The problem makers have their guns, and their dads guns, and his dads guns, all passed down to them.
