Reddit CEO signed, also Jack Dorsey from Twitter.

Universal background checks and strong Red Flag Law

I think I'm beginning to see how this whole "mark of the beast" thing will play out...

Support what we all support or you don't get to eat, shop, etc.

So a bunch of CEOs who have a shite ton of money and can live in the nicest areas with gates around their houses think we shouldn’t have guns. Yes that makes perfect sense

Shocked, SHOCKED to learn all but one of those companies are based in San Francisco.

Maybe they should sign a letter banning shitting on the street first.

Instead of asking Congress to restrict the rights of others, how about you actually do something to better the mental wellness of your employees?

I, as the CEO of my household, hereby request all the CEO’s that signed that letter to provide a minimum of 25 days PTO to every employee, therapy services to all employees on company time and at no charge to the employee, fund the childcare services of all its employees, and mandate that no work shall be done in excess of 7.5 hours each day. It is my responsibility to stand with the American people and demand CEO’s to take these common sense measures to improve the mental health of its employees which will in turn reduce gun violence.

As a long time member of USCCA, I believe, as most of us do, that people who should not have guns need to be identified, as well as we can and still remain constitutional. Now, how about a discussion as to how we go about it, and why's and why nots. The Red Flag on its surface is scary, and potentially be a slippery slope. Yet, can those who should obviously should not have access to guns be prevented from doing so, and how. Better back ground checks, with finger prints would help. Obtaining a $10 or so (2 wk.) universal background certificate from local police to be used for a gun private purchase seems like a small price for that security.
It gets sticky when it comes to Red Flag, as there are serious constitutional questions. Still, That Cruz kid in Fl, had lots of reasons to restrict his owning a firearm.
Yes, we will never keep guns from everyone that should not have them, but we will continuously be bombarded by those who want guns confiscated for being unreasonable. And, yes, we will continuously be bombarded by the confiscation crowd. But, at least we can answer their charges with solid reasoning.
Fire away, with sensible reasoning please.

They are becoming more and more brazen about their agenda.

It's almost as if they are panicking.



Trying to get rid of due process. Makes it easier to suppress opposition.

I wonder if Mittens is on board?

Gun violence in America is not inevitable ;it's preventable There are steps Congress can , and must,take to prevent and reduce gun violence .We need our lawmakers to support common
sense gun laws that could prevent tragedies like these .


How will making more laws keep people who don't follow laws from breaking the law? My guess is outright confiscation of privately-owned firearms is the ultimate goal.
