OPINION:
What am I, a regular U.S. citizen, doing about the sickening, horrendous gun violence that pervades our nation?
I am voting for Democratic candidates who favor banning assault weapons and passing sensible gun control laws.
The Republican Party does absolutely nothing about our serious gun violence problem — even though most Americans want an assault-weapons ban and some feasible gun control laws. The GOP is in cahoots with the greed of the National Rifle Association, gun manufacturers, gun sellers and gun lobbyists.
Republican legislators at the local, state and federal levels are preventing much-needed gun laws from being passed. The only thing that will get the attention of the do-nothing Republicans is voting them out of office in the next election.
Join me and millions of other voters in voting for Democratic candidates who will do something about gun violence.
