As a liberal, I feel that we need to work toward a society that settles differences by finding common ground, not standing your ground with a gun. I'm not naive enough to think that we can eliminate all guns, but we can reduce the need for guns through better law enforcement along with strong regulations on who is allowed to own and carry a gun in public.

The NRA works to weaken our guns laws and lower the threshold for public carry to expand the market in order to reap greater profits for the gun industry. Gun lobbyists make a great effort to suppress news and information of the damages caused by the proliferation of guns. We need to push back against the propaganda and let them know we don't accept their misguided fantasy of an armed-polite society.
