Today, I #WearOrange for Gun Violence Awareness Day in honor of all of the victims and survivors of gun violence.
Nearly 44,000 people in America are killed by guns every year, and thousands more are wounded.
Grateful for all of the @MomsDemand volunteers working to stop this crisis.
@Boodro79@mermaidmazie@cloef@shannonrwatts But you failed the challenge. The mass stabbings were not in under a minute. 🤷♀️
You’re just enjoying being obstinate. Every other country solved the problem, you have no stronger data or facts than that to offer.
@Boodro79@cloef@shannonrwatts NRA nonsense. UK has average 250 knife deaths a year and hasn’t has a school mass shooting in over 25 years. The UK report knife crime as a problem because it’s not acceptable. Unlike USA where massacred school kids is tolerated. Oh and USA has knife crime too!
@American_AV8R@shannonrwatts I think we agree. If a 2 year old died cause I left a pile of drugs on the table, I’m sure I would be charged with child endangerment, if not I should be. If a gun owner can’t keep their gun out of the hands of a kid - they aren’t responsible enough for a gun - or a kid.
Eminem is a a Trump-hating liberal.
Eminem loves his football team.
Eminem is a man, and therefore not a distraction.
Taylor is a a Trump-hating liberal.
Taylor loves her football team.
Taylor is a woman, and therefore a distraction.
Did I get that right, conservatives?
@American_AV8R@shannonrwatts Here in FL if I don’t have a code approved fence around my pool I would feel the full force of the law if a kid drowned in it. Should be the same if my gun was not secured.
When it comes to preventing gun violence in our communities, the choice in 2024 is between "We have to get over it" and "We have to stop it."
I know which I'm choosing.
Pregnant woman in need of a medical procedure, Kate Cox has left Texas. She could not wait on the courts. Time is crucial.
Republicans don’t care if she lives or dies. They’ve proven it.
@Kenneth19567057@shannonrwatts You know Texas GOP are doing this to make a political statement. They could have just respected a woman’s right to bodily autonomy so women don’t have to flee to 21st century states.
@shannonrwatts I used to ponder how people could not see the lunacy of witch trials in real time. But those medieval misogynists never died, they just reproduced. Case in point Ken Paxton. Shudder.
Closet bisexual Bridget Ziegler was chair (till last wk) of Sarasota school board
In that capacity,she allowed her fellow homophobes to publicly humiliate the lone Dem on the board who happens to be gay — without proof of ANY claim
Oh - the hypocrisy of this vile human being
First - Check out the awesome community policing! Palmetto police carrying the groceries at the Mount Carmel Turkey Giveaway, feeding the hungry! 💙
Second @momsdemand volunteers tabled BeSmart alongside @LWVSSMC handing out over 50 gun locks and #BeSmart information! 🎉 🍁
