We are voting to protect kids from the next school shooting. Every GOP member is opposed. So I asked my GOP colleagues, "Who are you here for? Our kids or the killers."
Through this legislation, we’ll move forward with a national freeze on handgun ownership. In other words, it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer, or import handguns anywhere in Canada once this Bill becomes law.
State authorities have provided the public with conflicting accounts of how the tragedy in Uvalde unfolded. I’m calling on the @FBI to use their maximum authority to investigate and provide a full report on the timeline, the law enforcement response and how 21 Texans were killed.
Joe Garcia, the husband of Irma Garcia, one of two teachers shot and killed in Uvalde, TX on Tuesday, has reportedly suffered a fatal heart attack. Joe and Irma were high school sweethearts and married 24 years. They leave behind four children.
Amerie Jo Garza's father, a med aide, says he found out she was one of the victims when he arrived on the scene and was helping another little girl covered in blood. She told him her best friend had been shot. When he asked her name, she said his daughter's. There aren't words.
If you woke up today, consider yourself lucky. If your children are alive and healthy, consider yourself blessed. Now please realize that we have an obligation to change what is happening in our country. We must do the work. We cannot lose hope. We cannot afford to give up.
It’s just sick that gun manufacturers have spent two decades aggressively marketing assault weapons which make them some of the biggest profits.
For God’s sake, let’s have the courage to stand up to the industry.
I’m from Uvalde. Salvador Ramos was from Uvalde. He went to elementary school, junior high, and was currently a high school student at Uvalde high school. Our community is 80% Mexican. You will NOT make light of these killings! STOP now!
