    The Spin

    Democratic narrative

    More than 450 rallies were held across the US to press lawmakers to take action in protecting innocent American lives. Legislation is progressing, but, with at least 254 mass shootings having taken place in the US this year, it's time for federal action on gun control.

    Republican narrative

    Despite rally-goers attempting to pressure Senators into eroding the Second Amendment, undermining Constitutional rights will not help protect any American from gun violence. The wave of recent mass shootings needs to be addressed but it is an issue of mental health, not gun control measures.
