It appears that the majority of Americans would like to see a ban on assault style weapons being sold to civilians and some kind of accountability for people who already own them.

At some point (so I’ve been told) elected officials used to support the majority vote, but this hasn’t been the case for quite some time.

There is one way that most assuredly will work. Unfortunately it’s seems to be the only way too many politicians will respond.

All voters nationwide who want to see this change need to take up a collection so we can put more money in our elected officials pockets than the National Rifle Association does.
