Over *4 times* as many children & teens have died from Gun Violence in America since 1963, than the total number of US Soldiers killed in action during Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, & Iraq wars COMBINED.

And that does not include more than 62 million babies that have been killed by abortion in the United States since Roe vs. Wade. Roe vs Wade was not enacted until January 22, 1973. 62 million, is more than21 times the lives lost by US Soldiers in all of the United States Wars combined.

You are comparing 65,000 deaths, mostly inner city gang killings, to 62,000,000 innocent children murdered in abortion clinics.

Guns aren't the problem it's the evil behind the gun... inflation should not even be in the same paragraph. It is disgusting. No baby formula, gas prices are draining us, everything is expensive...

Inflation and failed economies will always increase criminal activities, including gun violence.

You can't regulate free will. People make choices for good or evil. Inflation is something that the government can affect. Fuel prices affect every aspect of our economy. We need to be energy independent to do that. We need to open the pipeline and get busy drilling.

Everyone is affected by inflation. Every business is affected by inflation. Inflation directly affects me more than gun violence.

Recent school shootings are a welcome distraction for politicians, not wanting to let crisis go to waste, to "do something," no matter how ineffective or unconstitutional. But, "its the economy stupid," immortal words of James Carville. Inflation impacts everyone and will drive Dems out of power.

The Constitution should be the bedrock of our democracy, not a 50.000001% out-of-state dark money, pay petition gathers and buy an election with false advertising gimmick. It should take way more signatures to get on the ballot and 75% of the vote during a presidential election for a change. FJB

Grabbing power away from the out-of-state dark money liberals who can't get their simps elected to the legislature and giving power back to the people where it belongs.

Because the Republicans want to control the voters instead of the voters controlling the government.

You can't possibly believe that. Everyone knows these initiative petitions are bought and paid for by out-of-state special interests who are very well funded. Constitutions should only be amended on rare occasions and it should be difficult to do, not easy to buy.
