"It wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle with bullets." Witness of the Allen, TX shooting Steven Spainhouer tells @CapehartJ #SundayShow

TX lawmakers...learn to read data #txlege @MomsDemand

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Texans own among the most guns per capita of any state. If more guns and fewer gun laws made us safer, Texas would be the safest state. Instead it has high rates of gun suicide and homicide, and is home to four of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in the US.

Allen, Texas

[Moms Demand Action @MomsDemand]

A shooter opened fire at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, killing at least four people and wounding others.

We shouldn’t have to fear for our lives while shopping with our families. Our hearts go out to the victims’ loved ones. https://t.co/rGJQhPwCbL

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

The Rep for Allen, Texas, spent much of this week railing against children "led like lambs to the slaughter" talking about gender care. The congressman for Allen says those who think prayers aren't enough just don't believe in an almighty God. Maybe worry about guns for a minute

[Barbara King @TheBarbaraKing]

Enough is Enough! TX lawmakers are cowards #txlege

[Barbara King @TheBarbaraKing]

DO SOMETHING #txlege

[Senator Roland Gutierrez @RolandForTexas]

There is a special place in hell for people who watch all this happen and choose to do nothing. #bloodontheirhands

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Instead of passing strong gun laws, Texas lawmakers want to train 3rd-graders to use tourniquets, specifically citing the need for children to help treat shooting victims.

We don’t have to live like this. Our children sure as hell shouldn’t die like this. https://t.co/gCOENjtzx8

I Miss You Then! I Miss You Now! I Will Miss You Forever! I Love You Forever Son!! 💔💙#ForeverAkilah #LongLiveAkilah #LLND

[Senator Sarah Eckhardt @SarahEckhardtTX]

We love seeing @MomsDemand red shirts all over the Capitol today. While our legislature has yet to pass real #commonsensegunreform LIKE THE MAJORITY OF TEXANS WANT, these moms aren't giving up & neither are we! #txlege

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

THEY DID IT!!! Texas @MomsDemand and @StudentsDemand volunteers have been putting in the work building partnerships and elevating survivors of gun violence, and the power of that work was on full display at their coalition-led Advocacy Day 💪💪💪
