Small Steps But A Win!

Biden signs the Protect Our Children From Gun Violence bill into law.

The biggest news besides the mass shootings happening everyday in the U.S. is the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. The Court basically played on culture wars when they made the decision to make the states control a woman's right to make private, personal and health decisions. 

Of course, women can carry conceal firearms without a permit in every state and territory. They said the states cannot regulate gun owners from disclosing whether they have firearms in their possession. That means anyone in the country could carry firearms in any facility without fear of arrest. Of course, if you're a white male. Blacks, Muslims, immigrants with conceal carry will likely face arrest or death.

So in other words, LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION, ENDS IN A MASS SHOOTING.

Abortion is not completely banned. However, in most Republican states it is. Now it is a political issue and could be the start of a civil war within our country.

However, there is some good news for those who reject status quo and culture wars.

The Senate and House of Representatives have passed a gun reform bill. President Joe Biden signed the legislation on Saturday before he boards Air Force One for an overseas meeting with the European Union.

“Today, we say ‘More than enough,’” Biden said. “This is a monumental day.”

Biden signed the bipartisan bill, which addresses gun violence, into law in the Roosevelt Room at the White House before departing for Europe.

“Time is of the essence,” Biden said. “Lives will be saved.”

The House of Representatives passed the $13 billion Bipartisan Safer Communities Act bill on Friday, The Associated Press reported. The bill passed the House by a 234-193 margin. Fourteen Republicans joined Democrats in passing the bill.

That came a day after the Senate, with 15 Republicans crossing party lines, passed the measure by a 65-33 vote, The New York Times reported.

The legislation contains enhanced background checks and closes the “boyfriend loophole” that bans gun sales by people convicted of domestic violence.

One step. There's still more work to come.

Citing the families of shooting victims, the president said, “Their message to us was to do something. Well today, we did.”

Gun safety bill: Senate, House pass first gun legislation in decades; here’s what’s in it.

The bill also toughens requirements for young people to buy guns, according to The Associated Press. Most of the bill’s $13 billion cost will go to bolster mental health programs.

The measure is the first to address gun violence since the assault weapons ban of 1994 expired after 10 years, CNN reported.

Lawmakers began working on the bill after the mass shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, a month ago. That shooting happened 10 days after a gunman killed 10 Black shoppers in Buffalo, New York.

Biden mentioned the families of the shooting victims as he prepared to sign the bill.

“Their message to us was to do something,” Biden said. “Well, today, we did.”

Obstructionist Leader Karen McConnell (R-KY) said the bill will make the Second Amendment stronger.

“I am proud of these two complementary victories that will make our country freer and safer at the same time,” the Senate minority leader said after the measure passed the upper chamber of Congress. “Law-abiding Americans will go to bed tonight with significantly stronger Second Amendment rights than they had this morning, while new commonsense guardrails around convicted criminals and mental illness are now on their way to becoming law.”

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
