Voting Rights vs Gun Rights


It is sad it is easier to buy a GUN in this country than it is to VOTE.


It is sad it is easier to go on a mass murder spree than it is to elect a person you want to represent you in office.


It is sad one party ridiculously defends GUN rights, while also tries to take away peoples basic right to VOTE.


It's sad one party claims to value the constitution, but only when it benefits them. (Gun rights mentioned once, voting rights five times)


It's sad people are more concerned about VOTER FRAUD (from 2000-2014 found just 31 incidents. about .00000013 percent of all votes cast) than GUN DEATHS (280,024 in last decade)


Total deaths from voter fraud=0


Republicans don't want ex felons to ever be able to vote, but have no problem trying to restore their right to buy a gun again.
The NRA an gun stores only care about power and money. They profit every mass shooting as scared people go run to buy more guns. No one profits off people that vote.

Mass Shootings


Done debating, just making something clear:

An AR-15 was used in the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Connecticut 2012 (killing 20 children, 6 adults). An AR-15 was used in the 2012 Aurora, Colorado theater shooting (killing 12 people, injuring 70). An AR-15 was used in the 2015 San Bernardino, California shooting (killing 14 people, injuring 22). An AR-15 was used in the 2015 Umpqua Community College shooting in Oregon (killing 9 people, injuring 9) and 2016 at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, now the deadliest mass shooting in history, an "AR type rifle" was used (killing 49 people injuring 53).

Find the common denominator. These sick cowards all LEGALLY obtained the style or variant, of the semi-automatic AR-15 rifle to commit these terrible acts. The most logical response from the right, gun manufactures, and stores, would be not only increase production and sales of this gun, but also make it as easy as possible for anyone to get one. They are profiting off of every mass murder that happens. I can think of two reasons normal civilians need an AR-15: Trying to heavily overcompensate for having low T or going on mass murder sprees. Sadly, these tragedies will continue, as you can see, becoming more frequent and more lethal. Parties today can't even agree on keeping people that are on the No-Fly List from buying guns. Help us.

Your Vote Matters

Here's an idea:
Directly voting for a candidate... Just kidding, what kind of democracy would that be? Here in America, we do it right! Just follow these steps:
First, you'll need to vote for someone to actually vote for you, but that person you voted for will need to find a delegate able to vote for him, which keep in mind, is voting for you. Then that delegate, the person you voted for selected, will be able to vote on someone who can represent them, I mean you, who will finally choose the candidate you wanted, months later at the party convention. Or not, because they really aren't required to vote the way the people originally wanted, especially if the vote would go to a second ballot. I mean it all makes sense to me. I guess the best way to improve our democracy would be like... having a voting telephone game. As soon as the new President is elected, we can start voting on people, to vote on other people, to vote on certain people, to vote on a select people, to vote for us in the next election and hopefully by the last person, they chose the correct candidate you wanted in the first place. However, since that is so simple, we do also have more "important people" choose who should actually win. These are people in which no one elected, that will have significant delegates, which will be able to basically control the outcome of any election. So, there you have it, a slightly over-exaggerated, way you nominate a candidate. Our entire voting system needs reformed, not just the primaries and caucuses, but also in November when we have to go through it all again, with the electoral college. Your vote continues to mean less and less. The people in power will do anything to win an election, for example:

Gerrymandering districts, creating new voter ID laws, closed primaries (not allowing the largest body of people, Independents, to vote), requiring early registration, reducing polling places and ballots, misreporting precincts, having ridiculous waiting lines, changing polling hours, states only having caucuses, altering rules after votes, and as I mentioned earlier, the entire idea of Superdelegates, would be infringing upon our most basic and essential right as people. No, not The Second Amendment, sorry ammosexuals, but you would think there would be similar uproar. They are coming to take all of our votes away I tell ya!

It's no wonder people have given up on the political process and why we have one of the lowest voter turnouts among all developed countries in the world.

But remember your VOTE, for someone to vote for you, MATTERS. This great democracy would never try, in so many different ways, to suppress YOUR VOTE, for someone to vote for you.
