Okay I think I’m getting 57.
If a white person shoots up a school we need gun control but the overwhelming majority of gun deaths are black on black crime and we never mention gun control for those instances.
Wouldn’t that make him and every other liberal racist?

I favor strict " gun control" across the board and have for decades .
Even when it was pointed at the Black Panthers post LHO
Yeah. Next thing he’ll want is standards for jobs and education lowered for blacks because he doesn’t think they are as smart as ‘whites’. That’s pretty racist too.

Rep. Katie Porter

110+ people die in the U.S. *every day* from gun violence.
I urged House leadership to hold separate votes on common sense
gun safety measures so Americans would know exactly where
their Representative stands—with them or with the gun lobby.
The House voted on the Protecting Our Kids Act today. This legislation
is composed of 7 "titles"—i.e. different sections that seek to tackle
various facets of the gun violence epidemic. Each title was voted
on separately to boost accountability and transparency
TL;DR: I voted YES on all 7 proposals to reduce gun violence and
keep the American people safe. Too many communities, including
ours in Orange County, know the pain of gun violence.
Our gun laws are littered with loopholes. For example, Americans need
to be 21 to buy a handgun—but they can legally purchase certain
semi-automatic rifles and shotguns at 18. Title I of the
Protecting Our Kids Act raises the purchasing age to 21 for these weapons.
Another example: it's illegal to buy guns for someone who can't pass a
background check, but few are ever prosecuted under federal law.
There's also no federal statute that prohibits gun trafficking. Title II cracks
down on these serious crimes by increasing penalties.
Ghost guns, meaning guns that lack serial numbers and can't be traced,
aren't subject to existing law because they don't fit the legal definition of
"firearm." Title III amends the law so these guns, including those made
from kits and via a 3D printer, are regulated
Gun violence is the leading cause of death for American children.
Too often, kids find and use guns that weren't properly stored in their home
or in the home of a friend or relative. Title IV includes several provisions
to help families store their firearms more safely.
Americans can't legally own fully automatic rifles and machine guns made
after 1986, but up until recently, you could buy a "bump stock” to dramatically
increase the rate of fire on a semi-automatic rifle. Title V tightens an
existing—but flimsy—ban on these devices.
Existing law also allows Americans to equip semi-automatic rifles with high capacity
magazines, which are designed to shoot and kill en masse. Title VI bans
all but few from importing, manufacturing, selling, transferring,
or owning such magazines.
I often say that oversight is how we close the gap between what the law says
and what's happening. Title VII requires an annual report to Congress on the
demographic data of those who couldn't clear a background check,
so we can better understand how our laws are working.

I can’t think of a single reason why “need” is relevant.

The fellow who sent that tweet has “Dartmouth ‘25” in his profile, so I guess I shouldn’t criticize a sophomore for having a sophomoric take.
