Republicans have told us for years that people with guns are the way to stop people with AR15s. That’s always been bullshit. Now they’ll gaslight us about how much they care about mental illness because they can’t defend their indefensible nihilistic gun obsession.
If you think gun violence has everything to do with mental health and nothing to do with guns you are wrong twice.
And if you think now is the time for prayer but not action you should pick up any book of faith and read it once.
NBC News: Senator Murphy spoke to reporters as he walked off the Senate floor, saying, "spare me the bullshit about mental illness. We don't have any more mental illness than any other country in the world."
I’m a gun owner. Do not tell me our Founders conceived of this carnage when they wrote the Constitution. Do not tell me they would have tolerated this madness. Do not tell me that teachers must be armed. And do not tell me your AR15 is worth more than another 14 children’s lives.
The way you know Republicans *really* care about the baby formula shortage is that 192 Republicans just voted against funding to address the baby formula shortage.
"Mental illness" isn't to blame for our mass shooting crisis.
Why do I know this? Because America doesn't have any more mental illness than other countries.
What differentiates us is an ease to access to the killing machines that make mass shootings possible.
It’s the gun.
It’s not just the mental health.
It’s not just how he was “wronged” at school, work or home or by a girl.
It’s not that there wasn’t a “good guy with a gun.”
It’s the gun.
It’s not that they “weren’t prepared”.
It’s the gun.
It’s the gun.
It’s the motherfucking gun.
The Buffalo shooting is domestic terrorism. This is not a mental health case. This is a terrorist with an agenda and a manifesto. Call evil by its real name.
A white supremacist used what should be an illegal weapon to launch a terrorist attack on Black grocery shoppers today. He murdered at least 10 people.
But thank goodness we have the filibuster because tradition is super important. 🙄
Can you imagine the outrage if protesters were outside the Capitol with a gallows, and then breached the Capitol, and came hunting for members in their offices and smashed the place up?
Oh wait... that happened... and you didn't give a damn.
Just because I’m pro-choice doesn’t mean I’m pro-abortion.
It means that your choice is none of my god damn business.
Why can’t Republicans understand this?
You know who had a heartbeat? Every child murdered in their school because Republicans are the party of mass shooters. This isn’t about heartbeats. This is about criminalizing women.
Everyone please realize that the SCOTUS decision on RvW sets a precedent that potentially affects gay marriage, inter-racial marriage, public schools and most of the (highly popular) civil rights decisions of the last 70+ years.
NEW: GOP gubernatorial candidate @LopezforCO says he would sign an abortion ban in Colorado. I asked him to square his pro-life without exceptions stance with his 1993 arrest for assaulting his pregnant wife. #copolitics
