🚨 This is HUGE! 🚨California is the first state in the country to tackle DIY machine guns by preventing dealers from selling pistols that can be converted with “switches.” Gun manufacturers have known about this problem for decades, yet they refused to take action. So Californians did! 💪

Our generation has been through so many active shooter drills and swatting incidents that young people weren't even phased when evacuating the mass shooting in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
We don't have to live like this. Our lawmakers need to put our safety ahead of the gun lobby.
