    Write your congressman if they are one of the members that forced the weapon shipments to restart.

    In this case Joe Biden did not want to restart shipments but was forced by a Congressional resolution.

    Here is a Reuters article covering the resolution, here is the house press release, here is the Congressional voting record.

      Thanks for sharing this. I was absolutely shitting on Biden for this move, so I’m spreading this wherever I spread that.

      Mea culpa for sure.

          Incorrect, he was holding back shipments purposefully, this forces shipments to begin again and while he could veto it given the overwhelming support it would have bought a couple days at best and if you read both of those articles it’s very clear that that would have been the outcome.
