Mass shootings: “Three or more individuals harmed or killed with the use of a firearm during a single incident.”

Over the last three years there have been more mass shootings than days on the calendar. The television “news” only reports the sensational deaths of innocent Americans; the ones with larger numbers.

Most members of the Republican Party are owned by the NRA gun lobby. Included are Donald Trump, John Cornyn, Ted Cruz, Chuck Grassley, Joni Ernst, and many others including the Senate Majority Leader, “Moscow Mitch.”

Moscow Mitch has received huge campaign donations from the NRA, and also from at least two Russian oligarchs. Recent polls show that 90 percent of Americans support comprehensive background checks for all gun purchases. Moscow Mitch simply doesn’t give a damn. He continues to stand by the NRA’s demand that nothing be changed at the federal level. They continue to claim “second amendment rights,” but informed Americans know this is nothing but bullshit.

Moscow Mitch continues his attempts to misdirect the facts. More than 33,000 men, women, and children lose their lives every year after being shot by a gun. Domestic, white terrorism has become the greatest danger to the American people.

Fact; without the use of military assault rifles, high output magazines, and bump stocks, it would have been impossible for a lone gunman to murder 58 men and women in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. The most recent large mass shooting in El Paso could not have resulted in the deaths of 22 innocent people if the lone gunman did not have access to a military assault rifle.

Any argument to contradict these facts would be a lie. Human life should have more value than the profits of gun manufacturers and gun sellers.

However, Moscow Mitch believes in “profit before people.” He is the worst senator in American history, and the reason why our nation’s federal government has become dysfunctional.

To save our nation Moscow Mitch and his cronies must be voted out of office in 2020. They do not serve us, and are unworthy of our votes.

Tell everyone, “the truth lives here;” they will appreciate the facts.
