Lucy McBath lost her son to gun violence in 2012. She's now a member of Congress for the state of Georgia.

Also, you’re asking why homemade weapons haven’t saturated a given market... how would you or I know? Isn’t that the whole point of illegally producing something in private? It’s a secret, right? How would we know? It’s not measurable. Doesn’t change the fact it’s entirely possible. I can’t tell you why you don’t see it, doesn’t mean people can’t make them. Doesn’t disprove my point that laws won’t make firearms not exist. If there were such a black market, it would cease to exist once you knew about it - Like when law enforcement finally hacked the Silk Road black market on the dark web. I’m sure there are ten more to replace it, they just got better at covering their tracks
