What the hey…
40 school shootings so far this year. Republicans do not care about children. I am not a democrat.

So Democrats don’t believe in gun ownership? That’s not entirely true. Republicans and Independents own guns (or have one in the household) at a rate of about 2:1 over Democrats, so that part is true.
But, gun ownership has a great deal to do with demographics. Rural gun ownership is is 46%. Suburban ownership 28% and urban a mere 19%. In the Northeast, where I live, gun ownership is the lowest in the country at 16%, which is less than half of the rest of the country.
Most gun owners grew up with guns in the household where the overwhelming usage was for hunting or target shooting. Although I’m neither an owner nor an advocate, politicizing ownership does nothing.
Case in point, over 90% of ALL Americans believe in stricter regulation(s) to get a gun. So with that fact, and Democratic House and Senate control, why has there been no progress?
Simple. It pays more to pander. Accomplishing anything isn’t the objective.
