End the Gun RIghts Myth. Stop #GRIM Now.
The Gun Rights Myth (#GRIM) has served to divide our nation and lead to senseless deaths for far too long.
#GRIM is a tool of distraction, one that prevents real discussion, progress, and action among elected officials and citizens alike.
☑ I dismiss #GRIM just as the 40+ lives lost to gun violence every single day have been dismissed by silence and inaction.
☑ I do not accept #GRIM in exchange for the value of life - Not my life, nor the lives of my children, family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, students and fellow citizens.
☑ I hold elected officials accountable for taking action:
- Cease to acknowledge #GRIM talking points as credible
- Force the conversation forward
- Enact laws that first and foremost protect the unalienable rights:
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

FACT SHEET:
The NRA has spent billions in on a successful campaign to re-write the 2nd Amendment (2A) in the minds of Americans. NRA Blood Money
This is the entire and complete text of the 2nd Amendment (2A):
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
- No mention of guns.
- No mention of individuals.
- Laws enforce rights AND laws limit weapons.
#GRIM interprets 2A to mean an indisputable force that demands all individuals have limitless access to arms, particularly guns: FALSE.
NICS is a current and legal limitation to weapon ownership.
States mandate legal limitations to weapon ownership.
#Arms = #Weapons. Weapons include:
* Hammers
* Knives
* Swords
* Rifles
* Hand Guns
* Machine Guns
* Semi & Automatic Assault Rifles
* Grenades
* Missiles
* Biological Weapons
* Chemical Weapons
* Nuclear Warheads
A US Citizen CANNOT legally own or acquire many of these.
Here's a list of weapons so #depraved they are not even allowed in #war.
There is no such thing as unlimited legal access to guns. #NoRight
Weapons don’t have rights. Guns don’t have rights.
#GunRights are a #Myth. #GRIM
