This morning, I’m speaking about the terrible events that unfolded in Nova Scotia. In the face of tragedy, Canadians always pull together and support each other, and that’s what we need to do now. https://t.co/zZEvLm6Qs6

1 in 3 homes with children have guns, many unlocked or loaded. When you are feeling powerless in the gun debate there is one thing you CAN do: ASK! ASK if there is a gun in a home your child visits, and ASK if it is stored locked & unloaded #ask#gunsafety@sandyhook@MomsDemand

Kendrick Castillo, 18, was killed after lunging at one of the gunmen yesterday during the school shooting in Colorado. Our children shouldn’t have to stand up to gunmen because too many of our lawmakers are too afraid to stand up to gun lobbyists.
Text ACT to 644-33
A teenager’s choice to lunge at the gunman during a school shooting in Colorado cost his life but gave others precious seconds. It was the latest act of self-sacrifice by students who are now on the front lines of fighting off gunmen in America’s schools. https://t.co/XGfkIo9BMz
On 4/16, the ceremonial candle was lit for 24 hours & the names of the 32 Hokies we lost were read aloud. The @VTCorpsofCadets stood guard for 32 minutes. Once extinguished, the candle was carried back into Burruss, to represent our commitment to never forget. 🧡 #VTWeRemember
Every other developed Country has angry white men and mentally ill people but no other country arms them with easily concealed handguns and military style assault weapons without regulations and detection by law enforcement
"They ran out of back doors, they broke windows…they hid up in the attic, they hid in the bathroom.
Unfortunately our young people…have learned that this may happen."

For so many of America's schoolchildren, it's not too soon to talk about gun violence, it's too late.
Join the millions of Americans standing up and demanding our leaders take action. Text ACT to 644-33.

@Randeesteffen@MomsDemand@UnderTheGunDoc I learned a lot from it. Had no idea that there was a 72 hour window on background checks that allowed Charleston shooter who had been red flagged to buy guns that killed 9 in church.
