Let's not forget which party enables gun violence in the USA and which doesn't.

I don’t think the political party that’s spent 30 years telling us ‘actually everyone should have guns, no restrictions ’

should try and pin the blame for political violence

on the party that’s been saying ‘more guns is bad and we should have some common sense limits’ for 30 years.
