3. Oh grand.. I didn't see Hawaii at first..

Good on all the Blue states who do.

5. Why just Florida?

Why not boycott all the states that don’t have an assault weapons ban?

10. exactly, might as well boycott nevada

6. This is important. Assault weapons CAN be banned.

That's clear from the states that have done so. Their laws have been challenged on 2nd Amendment grounds, but still stand.

We should pay attention to this. It's another reason to work very hard to elect Democrats to state legislatures across the country. That means that voting in off-year elections is supremely important

GOTV Everywhere for Every Election!

We need to stop ignoring non-presidential-year elections. We've done that for far too long.

8. I wish Minnesota did. I'm not sure why we don't

unless it's because the Goopers run both houses of the legislature.

9. According to the Supreme Court, The Second Amendment Does Not Protect Assault Weapons

In November of last year, the Supreme Court denied an appeal of the Maryland ban. We can and should have a permanent, national assault weapons ban. The NRA likes to use inflammatory rhetoric to state otherwise. This is a lie.

with stood the test of the Courts and Time. Just add all the guns we don't want floating around to that law!
