Trying out something...

"Would you let an unknown man babysit your toddler?"

"Would you let an unknown man in a house alone with your pre-teen daughter when you aren't around?"

why are you letting unknown men with guns be around your children?

nearby, wherever you are. Depending on where you live, the likelihood varies widely, but in a lot of places, it's very likely that some of the people around you and your children are carrying deadly firearms.

The only way to change that is to change the laws. We aren't having much luck doing that, though. We need to GOTV like crazy this November and in 2020. That's our only hope, really. Nothing else is going to work.
