Oh my:Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez kicks off 1st day of freshmen orientation w protest ⁦@Pelosi⁩'s office

312. I'm very much in favor of strict gun control.

I think it'd be a good idea to ban semi-automatics, handgun and long gun, although I don't think that will ever happen in my lifetime. I support limits on detachable magazine capacity. 5 rounds is plenty. I started a thread in the Gungeon proposing a group rule that one would have to be a member of DU for at least a year and have at least 1000 posts before being able to post in the gungeon. Not surprisingly, that proposal didn't get far. I've written my state representative and state senator asking them to sponsor legislation that would impose stiff penalties on those gun owners who don't properly secure their guns when not in use.

I've been called a "gun grabber' numerous times over the years.


Here's a post of mine made back in 2012:
