It’s 2022, and 157 House Republicans just voted against marriage equality.

That’s where they come down on this issue.

In 2022.

Congressman Chris Jacobs, who was endorsed by the NRA in 2020, says he would support a ban on assault weapons. https://t.co/71JCYc6i40

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

Who else agrees the NRA should be held financially liable for mass shootings? ✋

“I don’t want anybody else to go through this.” These were the victims in the Uvalde school shooting. https://t.co/Opqga074UA

Texans are pissed off. These made-for-TV press conferences are not enough. I am demanding @GregAbbott_TX send us back to Austin for a special session on guns. It’s time for action. #GunSafetyNow #DemandSpecialSession #BringUsBack #Uvalde #txlege

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

I need every retired grandparent in America to show up outside of their senators office while they are on recess right now and demand they take action on gun violence by voting for background checks and red flag laws.

To recap: Police claim they shoot unarmed black children because they "fear for their lives" but police also claim they do not shoot armed gunmen killing children because they "fear for their lives."

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

This is just unthinkable: SEVEN police officers were inside the school but did not confront the shooter per @CNN. They waited "about an hour" for a Border Patrol tactical team to arrive. A full hour. Seven armed officers to one 18 year-old. The good guys with the guns?

BREAKING: The manager of the San Francisco Giants announces that he will “no longer be taking the field for the national anthem” until Congress implements “stronger gun laws” to “prevent tragedies” like the Texas elementary school massacre. RT TO THANK HIM FOR TAKING A STAND!

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

If 19 armed police inside PLUS 150 police outside, were afraid to engage ONE 18 year-old with an AR-15, the only solution is to ban AR-15 style rifles, period!

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

I have watched this several times. “Sir, you are out of line.” We all need to get out of line. The line we’ve been waiting in isn’t moving. The line we’ve been waiting in is stalled. Get out of line, speak up. We’ve waited in line for too long.

We have the power to change this and we will.

Texas Gov. Abbott says the Uvalde school shooter had a "mental health challenge" and the state needed to "do a better job with mental health" — yet in April he slashed $211M from the department that oversees mental health programs. https://t.co/GdqKncigxQ

This motherfucker turned 18 and bought an assault rifle the next day? Do you know how hard it is to adopt a pet? But you can buy an assault rifle easy breezy? #BanAssaultWeaponsNow
