Think there's a connection?

God Bless the President of the United States shared Meme GOP's photo.

‎235 year this country has been in existence. The last 7 years, since the ban on assault rifles expired, there have been more mass murders than in the 228 preceding years. I'm sure the "The 'Guberment' wants to take my guns" fringe group will find some ridiculous argument to say that no regulations will make a difference, but we all know what is true, deregulation has hurt this country economically and it is now costing lives, not lives of gangsters killing each other, like in the hay day of prohibition and Elliot Ness, no it is costing lives of innocent children. So I say, yes, let's try background checks, assault weapons bans like we did have and monitoring of selling large amounts of ammo. Let's just try it and see. It worked before, it works in other countries and all the extremist, fear driven, paranoid NRA fueled BS will not reduce any mass murder possibility, au contraire, it will make it worse! The kid who killed the 20 children had a mother who filled his head with the survivalist insanity. The majority of Americans must be in charge now, we have allowed the minority to hold us hostage long enough!
