@SabrinaeLittle @UFLaw Congrats!

Every CEO, every corporate leader, every company HQ’d in Texas (@HP, @Oracle, @AmericanAir, @SouthwestAir, @WholeFoods, @Dell, @HEB, @tesla) has a moral obligation to *publicly* join the coalition demanding stronger gun laws and stop funding gun extremists. Now. #NoMoreBloodMoney

Ted Cruz is speaking at the NRA annual meeting this weekend. @AmericanAir - hq'd in Fort Worth, Texas - has donated millions to his campaigns.

Moms love to travel. Will you commit to stop giving money to lawmakers who vote against the safety of our kids? #NoMoreBloodMoney

America ranks 9th among peer nations for rates of mental illness. People who are mentally ill are more likely to be victims of violent crime than perpetrators. America has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation.

It’s the guns.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

If @Kirkland_Ellis has truly had a change of heart, the firm should stop representing the NRA in all matters going forward.

Retweet if you agree.

Do you want to know what Greg Abbott was doing while parents in Uvalde were waiting to learn if their children were dead?

He was attending a fundraiser. Right after he reported about the deaths on TV.

THERE WON’T BE ANY GUNS ALLOWED AT THE NRA ANNUAL MEETING IN TEXAS BECAUSE THEY’RE AFRAID THEY’LL GET SHOT. https://t.co/MsizIJmg0c

The teenagers who survived Columbine are in their late 30s and early 40s. They have kids in elementary schools.

[Jason Kander @JasonKander]

Some of the founders wanted the 2nd amendment because they’d just fought for independence while others feared their own slaves might rise up against them.

Yet none would’ve interpreted it to mean absolutely anybody can buy a gun even when children are being executed at school.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

An armed security guard and police couldn’t stop 18 children from being killed. The @NRA tried to make us to believe more guns in more places will make us safer, but they were no match for the teen gunman the gun lobby groomed and then armed with an assault rifle.

Uvalde

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

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

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Sixteen children and a teacher were murdered 26 years ago at Dunblane Primary School in Scotland. UK leaders took decisive legislative action, including an assault weapons ban.

There hasn’t been a mass shooting at a school in the UK in almost 30 years. https://t.co/cuiuksLnJz

1/ Some tangible things @JoeBiden can announce during his remarks about the TX shooting tonight

1. In order to confront the national emergency of gun violence in America, I am opening a White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and will appoint a senior official to run it

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

HERE ARE SOME ANSWERS FOR YOU: Don't let teens buy guns. Pass a federal background check requirement. Pass a federal red flag law. Close the Charleston loophole. Confirm an ATF director. Fund community violence intervention programs. Stop taking NRA money.

Uvalde

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

According to the Governor of Texas, the gunman who killed at least 15 people in Uvalde is an 18-year-old who lives in the community. He had a handgun and may have been armed with a rifle, too.

In 2021, Texas lawmakers lowered the age to carry a handgun to 18. #txlege

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Americans ages 18 to 20 commit 18% of all gun homicides, while making up only 4% of the US population.

Not only does the @NRA think teens should be able to buy semiautomatic rifles, they’re trying to lower the federal age to buy a handgun to 18, too.

@LeahLitman @danieltdeacon Congrats, Leah! So well deserved!
