@andersoncooper @ApplePodcasts Is this wonderful podcast available in print? Would love to share with my sister who is deaf.

Teachers should be heroic educators and not need to stop bullets. @chicagotribune, have you asked where they boy got the guns? Not a single newspaper has reported this. How’re needs to be criminal penalties for those who do not secure their guns. @MomsDemand @DocsDemand https://t.co/Tdg4GIdJr3

[Beth McQuaid @BethMcQuaidMD]

Teachers should be heroic educators and not need to stop bullets. Why is there nothing in the news about where the student got the guns. In two days, not a single report even asking this question. C’mon @latimes ask this question. @MomsDemand @DocsDemand https://t.co/DFwg8iSQ3x

We need to stop sanitizing images of people dying of gun violence. Photos of Napalm victims made US look at Vietnam. We need to do the same with guns. @MomsDemand @DocsDemand https://t.co/CrbugvRSm6

This mother wants you to see a disturbing photo of her fatally shot daughter. Maybe it’s time we look. https://t.co/TAX7iaQIRy

Can we talk about guns now?

[Beth McQuaid @BethMcQuaidMD]

Where did he get the guns? We need to make gun owners who do not secure their guns accountable. Not storing guns securely should be criminal offense. @MomsDemand @DocsDemand https://t.co/aOyOKlm5nr

Where did he get guns? What are the consequences of unsafe storage? Unsafe storage should be a criminal offense. @MomsDemand @DocsDemand https://t.co/fbyWrytjsK

Last week, I went to a gun show to find out how easy it is to buy an assault rifle. What I found was terrifying - it took less time to buy a weapon of war than a cup of coffee. #VA10 #NeverAgain #VetsVsTheNRA

@bethechangeCA10 @ScottCramton @shannonrwatts Sad but I think we need to think of this like a mom driving drunk killing her child. The focus should be on the child’s life lost.

[Beth McQuaid @BethMcQuaidMD]

This is incredibly sad. More children under age 5 die of guns than do police officers. There needs to be accountability. A child dying this way can not be considered an accident. @MomsDemand @DocsDemand #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/rNJPMIgg4Y

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Police say an initial investigation indicates the woman was handling a firearm when it fired and struck the toddler in the chest. Police say the Ohio mother legally possessed the handgun and had a concealed carry permit. https://t.co/vQlzXDBXHF

Shooting in #Ohio just took an American life. #POTUS, please do something. #BackfireTrump

One more person was just killed in #Missouri. #POTUS, it’s your job to take action. #BackfireTrump

Most Still Favor Stricter Gun Laws, But It's Fading As A 2018 Voting Issue https://t.co/uwMHSYcq8Q. We need to keep the momentum. Keep media engaged. @MomsDemand #enough

This was a good piece on Gov Kasich’s gun control efforts.. Great firework metaphor about how ournational attention wanes. Please help keep media attention on #EndGunViolence @MomsDemand @DocsDemand https://t.co/Ngstqm5HRl

Ohio Gov. @JohnKasich pushes for bi-partisan gun reform legislation now in the hands of legislature. https://t.co/xzggynQDXV
