.@tedcruz What if - and hear me out I’m just a mom of two small children - what if there were something more important than the right to own a semiautomatic gun. Off the top of my head I can think of two and they’re sleeping right now in pajamas with airplanes on them.
Politico-Morning Consult poll:

"31,780 children in the U.S. under age 18 have died from gun violence in the 20 years between 2000 and 2020. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children in the US." New @DataGeekB: https://t.co/b3iHtN8Yv4 #guncontrol#publichealth
Common Sense gun control is simply that. It means if you want a gun, you have to pass a background check, that no one needs an AR, that the gun registry should updated to this century. Explain to me why that is all a bad idea? #TakeTheGuns
I’ve owned guns since I was a teenager. No one really needs a gun. You think you need a gun? You’re wrong. You WANT a gun. More than you want gun violence to end. Proper gun owners should welcome oversight and BR checks.
Gun makers target young men by making it “manly” to be a gun guy. If it’s so easy to get a gun, then why does it make you feel special? Try prioritizing tolerance, integrity, responsibility, caring, and education in your life if you want to feel good about yourself. #TakeTheGuns
