AWBII Introduced Yet??

[RX-178]

As a suggestion, these bills are listed at govtrack.us, which has a 'take a position' button to gauge popular support, through popvox.

Here's the two that the board seems to think (I'm not disagreeing) are the most likely to pass.

HR141 has 11% voicing support through popvox, vs 89% against it.
HR137 has 8% voicing support, vs 92% against.

I submit that these support percentages are still too high, and we should take a moment to make them smaller.

I signed up with popvox and did my part, but here's a disturbing little tidbit from that site:

https://www.popvox.com/bills/us/113/x101

The above link is not an actual bill up for consideration, but simply a call for "common sense legislation to end gun violence" which calls to:

1. Require criminal background checks for ALL gun sales, including private sales.
2. Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
3. Make gun trafficking a federal crime.

...proposed by none other than -

Mayors Against Illegal Guns!

This "petition" of sorts currently has 45,364 votes, with 92% in favor.

It's an uphill battle, but we need to turn that around BIG TIME!
