uhh huhh... so he 'advocated ' for something when he wasn't in politics and and no control over it. Meanwhile, when he CAN do something - all he's done is sign a bill blocking Obama-era background checks on guns for people with mental illnesses. He prevented a new data source from included the system that runs background checks. Another worthless politician who's been paid off by the NRA to the tune of over 30 MILLION dollars -- don't fool yourself into thinking he's some savior of the anti-gun violence folks lol lol.
