H.R.1808

Congress recently passed H.R.1808 in the House of Representatives, a bill which ostensibly seeks to address the United States’ mass shooting epidemic by banning semi-automatic firearms and magazines over 15 rounds. In refusing to address the root cause of mass shootings, liberal politicians are in fact enabling the demographic most likely to carry them out—right-wing extremists. Tragically, the “action” so many well-meaning liberals demand will only prevent endangered populations from access to self-defense while fortifying the far right’s monopoly on violence. How has firearms education empowered you and shaped your political journey?
