A recent piece of research by VOX shows where Democratic presidential candidates stand on gun issues. The GOP seems to plan to allow Trump to run opposed as its presidential candidate, and we can reasonably expect more inaction and McConnell to continue to sit on bills that could save lives.
Some Democrats have detailed ideas; some have general views, and at least one hasn’t published any gun policy and won’t answer questions.
The 2020 elections at Federal and State levels are absolutely crucial for gun law reform.
George Takei has said that he will support whatever candidate the Democrats run against Trump; this certainly seems the only sound way to vote him out and achieve some gun law reform.

- Report back to us on the One Pulse for America Facebook page if there are any candidates in your state who should get our support – or who we need to campaign against.

It may seem like the elections are far away – but the PACs and Super PACS are spending millions now, and we know that targeted advertising and misleading advertising still goes on.
With your help on this, we can make shows of support or disapproval with the goal of finally getting America’s gun laws modernized. We cannot afford another year of staggering casualties – over 41,000 shootings last year – that we know of.
