BREAKING: The Two Tennessee state lawmakers, Justin Jones (D-Nashville) and Justin Pearson (D-Memphis), who were expelled from the state legislature earlier this year for their protest of gun violence, have just easily won a special primary election.
- Justin Jones ran unopposed
- Justin Pearson won 94% of the vote.
While the Tennessee GOP thought they were winning, all they did was empower these two men. It is now very likely both win the general election in August.
2A or no 2A, why the fuck do you need a military style assault weapon to go to Burger King? I could understand maybe a pistol if I'm feeling generous, but bringing a weapon of war? That's not a need for protection, that's a mental illness. https://t.co/tnQpictNcP
BREAKING: President Biden will sign an Executive Order to give AG Merrick Garland the tools to clamp down on gun sellers who break the law, “moving the US as close to universal background checks as possible,” according to the White House.
Details:
- Biden will unveil an Executive Order today and speak at Monterey Park, California.
- The Order will clarify the definition of who is “engaged in the business” of selling in firearms.
- Additionally, the Order will allow individuals to petition a court to allow police to confiscate guns from people who are a danger to themselves or others.
- Garland will also reportedly create a list of licensed firearms dealers, who have violated the law, and make that list public in order to shame those companies.
- Last Year Biden pushed through a bipartisan gun safety law, and according to the WH, that law "created an opening" to allow Biden to direct the AG to move the US as close to universal background checks as he can without additional legislation.
This is a WIN for Americans, but just a start!
BREAKING: Both Visa and Mastercard have just halted their tracking of Gun Purchases after gun lobbyists and Republicans threatened to sue them over the new measure that would certainly protect Americans.
Both companies are now letting lobbyists and Republicans stop them from implementing policies that could literally save the lives of American men, women and children.
If you are as pissed off as I am, please speak up!
AMERICA WANTS BETTER!
