NEW: Three members of a Korean-American family are among the eight victims killed by a white supremacist in Allen, Texas. The couple’s 5-year-old is alive, but hospitalized.

The Korean consulate confirmed the deaths of the family: https://t.co/ulmvznSmsR

"It wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle with bullets... I'm a former police officer, a former Army officer. These M4s, AR-15s, they've got to get off the streets or this is going to keep happening" - Allen, TX mall shooting witness Steven Spainhouer tells @CapehartJ on @weekendcapehart

We're going to continue to work to protect women's reproductive freedom in North Carolina.

.⁦@GovAbbott⁩ out here blaming mental illness for the outlet mall shooting, knowing the gunman was a white supremacist. White supremacy isn’t a mental illness; it’s an ideology enabled by extremists like him, and made deadly by his lax gun laws. https://t.co/V1yJ9AkhDS

If you are on the side of banning books, and shutting down libraries, you are on the wrong side of history.

In banks.
In schools.
In parades.
In grocery stores.
In churches.

Mass shootings will keep happening until lawmakers prioritize our lives over the gun lobby.

Students are walking out on Wednesday, 4/5. Learn how to organize a walkout on your campus—join the @StudentsDemand Walkout Prep Call: https://t.co/4jlHsQGijD

I’m being told by students on the ground that the Tennessee Legislator is expelling members who stood with gun control advocates today. They’re planning on holding a vote tonight to potentially PERMANENTLY EXPEL these members from voting.

THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Vanderbilt, Belmont and Nashville high school students and @studentsdemand volunteers walked out of their classes and over to the capitol today. 💪💪💪 #tnleg https://t.co/HtuPIDTq1L

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

Let's call this what it is: FASCISM.

TN lawmakers are being silenced for standing with young people and gun safety activists today during the Nashville student walk out.

LEADERS SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR STANDING WITH THEIR CONSTITUENTS. THIS IS WRONG.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

397 kids have been killed by gun violence in 86 days this year.

Tennessee has some of the weakest gun laws in the country.

It’s the fucking guns.
It’s also the fucking Republicans that won’t do anything about it.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Jim Jordan’s latest missive to the Manhattan DA is little more than a demand for discovery.

In a criminal case that has yet to be charged.

On behalf of a client he does not represent.

Masquerading as an explanation of legislative purpose.

It fools no one.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

SCHOOL SHOOTINGS ARE NOT ACTS OF NATURE. They are senseless, preventable acts of man enabled by weak gun laws and lawmakers.

This doesn't have to be our new normal. Our children don't have to be sacrificed in exchange for gun industry profits. We can stop this.

BREAKING: Pres. Biden remarks on school shooting in Nashville, calling it "a family's worst nightmare."

"So I call on Congress again to pass my assault weapons ban. It's about time we make some more progress." https://t.co/GQdnQLfvIV

I have posted this before but ..

26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK.

Senator Blackburn took $1.25 million from the NRA.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Prosecutors like me, old enough to remember the assault weapons ban, know it worked & should never have been permitted to expire. The idea that the Founding Fathers meant to create a 2nd Am that protected weapons used to kill babies in schools defies common sense and history.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

Thoughts and prayers are worthless. America is accepting our deaths as the price of doing business.

IT'S THE GUNS, PEOPLE.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

We are sending our children to school every day with the tacit understanding that they may be slaughtered in order to feed the multi-billion dollar beast that is the gun industry.

We don't have to live like this. Children should never die like this.

[Ms Nashville @MsNashville]

Three children have died in the Nashville School shooting this morning. More injured and it is a pre-k to 6th grade school at Covenant School. Prayers are NOT enough!!!! MAJOR gun reform is needed!!!! Children should not be killed in school!!!!!
