Great News! The @TheJusticeDept moves ahead on bump stock ban one year after the Las Vegas shooting tragedy. The rule change would ban the manufacture, importation, and possession of bump stocks. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jus⦠#HonorWithAction #EndGunViolence

It took 77 minutes for police officers to confront the Uvalde school shooter because they were afraid of the 18yo with an AR-15. Nineteen students and two teachers were hunted and murdered and 17 others were injured in one of our nation's worst school shootings. We urge law enforcement from Uvalde and other communities to support banning assault weapons to prevent another school shooting.
Breaking: In a new report released Thursday, the U.S. Justice Department says the law enforcement response to Uvalde school shooting showed βcascading failures of leadership, decision-making, tactics, policy and training.β bit.ly/3U6n8j4

A serious question. What would you do if your only son was murdered with an AR15 in a school on Valentine's Day?

Jaime Guttenberg should be celebrating her 20th birthday today.
On February 14th, 2018, Jaime and 16 others were shot and killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
Jaime was only 14-years-old.
Jamie was a talented dancer and it was her dream to become a Pediatric Physical Therapist and help a child walk for the first time.
Today and everyday, we send love to @fred_guttenberg and the entire Guttenberg family. As well as those who knew and loved Jaime.

βThe idea we still allow semiautomatic weapons to be purchased is sick, itβs just sick.
It has no social redeeming value, zero, none. Not a single, solitary rationale for it.β

After the Parkland shooting, Florida raised the age to purchase assault weapons. Last night, Florida House Republicans voted to reduce the age to purchase assault weapons back to 18. This action betrays the victims & survivors of Parkland. sun-sentinel.com/news/politiβ¦

1) This is false! Did you know that John Lott Jr, the @NRAβs go-to gun researcher, is a discredited researcher who invented a fan named Mary Rosh to counter his online critics? washingtonpost.com/archive/lβ¦
Did you know since 1950, 94% of the mass public shootings have occurred in gun-free zones, places where citizens are banned from having guns?
