Re: Roy Exum: Make A Difference
A wonderful opinion piece by David Hogg. I applaud Roy Exum for publishing it.
But it will be impossible to make a difference when you live in Marjorie Taylor Greene's district or any Republican controlled Georgia districts in North Georgia.
I wrote her asking why anyone needs to own an AR-15 type weapon. I got a form letter replying, with exceptional verbosity and no substance, that the Second Amendment is sacred, and she will be its protector. Her campaign literature shows her brandishing an AR-15 type weapon.
Her district is a two issue district: gun control and abortion. While the abortion debate is likely over, the gun debate must continue.
It's unfortunate that Greene will not listen to her constituents, and recognize the national polls showing that only +/-40 percent (2022 Gallup Poll) of the people nationwide are satisfied with existing laws. She has campaign literature with her brandishing AR-15 type weapons.
Will the citizens of her district vote her out? I don't think so. I expect Greene to kow-tow to the NRA and listen only to those in her district who praise her for her stances.
Because of Marjorie Taylor Greene, her followers, elected officials of her ilk, and Republican control of +/- 36 State Legislatures, Democracy is dead, and no one can make difference.

It would appear to me that Marjorie Taylor Greene is listening to her constituents as she seems to be very popular in her district.
And you are wrong, Mr. Warren, democracy is not dead but it very well will be if the Democrats succeed in destroying the 2nd Amendment.
Make no mistake, they want to destroy it because they realize it's the last defense against a tyrannical government. And we are well on the way to just that.

Hey Joe, write to the automobile industry asking: why do y’all produce a vehicle with 300~400hp when the speed limit is 55 miles per hour?
Or the motorcycle industry asking, why does your product have the capability to go 120 miles per hour.
The AR-15 and the above mentioned products can seriously hurt or kill anyone if improperly used, by the operator.
