Those people in yellow shirts? They’re gun extremists who oppose all gun safety laws.

That one @MomsDemand volunteer in a red t-shirt? She represents mainstream America. And she won today; 3 gun safety bills are going to the floor for a vote in Rhode Island. #rileg

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

The NRA does NOT like my proposal to restrict assault weapons:

"the tax on a [AR-15] would... [result] in a total price of $16,500"

"devastating for those wishing to purchase common semi-automatic rifles"

"could bypass the US Senate’s 60-vote threshold to bypass a filibuster"

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

NEW: @washingtonpost just uncovered that Facebook has a *10 STRIKE* rule, allowing buyers and sellers to violate its policies prohibiting firearms sales repeatedly before the platform takes action.

That’s not accountability, that’s complicity.

We need to make sure our lawmakers #DontLookAway from our gun violence crisis.

Text BOLD to 64433 to call your U.S. senators and demand action on gun safety now.

[Everytown @Everytown]

Inaction on our nation’s gun violence crisis is unacceptable. We won’t back down on that.

Call your senators so they #DontLookAway from the over 110 people killed by guns and the 200 more wounded each day—text BOLD to 644-33.

[brigette russell @ms_bea_kind]

🚨 Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teens in the U.S.

☎️ JOIN ME in demanding that senators #DontLookAway from this crisis: Text BOLD to 644-33 to call your senators and tell them to take bold action on gun safety. @MomsDemand

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Today a group of eight bipartisan Senators met to continue negotiations on a gun violence bill that can get a broad, bipartisan vote in the Senate. This follows a similar meeting yesterday.

There is growing momentum to get something done and we agreed on a plan to keep working.

[Forbes @Forbes]

An AR-15 assault-style firearm found at the scene of a shooting spree in a medical building in Tulsa, Okla., that left four dead and nearly 10 others injured Wednesday had been purchased the same day, Tulsa police said. https://t.co/7zbEjVFcF8

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This is a trend, folks. The shooters are often buying these weapons with the specific purpose of an immediate mass killing.

[Vital Mom @Vital4Moms]

I’m at Dulles with Maryland and Virginia @MomsDemand volunteers to tell Senators and travellers passing by on their way back from vacation: #dontlookaway

[Tim Kaine @timkaine]

Virginia requires magazine limitation for duck hunting—no more than 3 rounds in a shotgun. Why? It's not fair to ducks.

Yet when we try to limit magazines to 10 rounds in Congress, we’re blocked. If we can limit magazines to protect ducks, we must do the same to protect people.

[Ryan Busse @ryandbusse]

WWGCD?

What would gun companies do?

Well, I can tell you. America’s top gun companies insist on very strict gun safety for all employees and in all facilities. Background checks. very strict safety procedures when testing/handling. Many don’t allow any personal guns on site

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Huh.

[be water @BreRVA]

Neighbors say they made as many as 8 calls to police about this party, but police still claim only 3 calls were made. The discrepancy is problematic.

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

In the last year, Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans passed a law eliminating ANY permit requirement for guns — and then slashed $211 MILLION from Texas’s mental health budget.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Why is the NRA banning guns at their event this Friday if more guns make us safer?

[Blue Virginia @bluevirginia]

That's right, even the top gun group in America doesn't really believe that guns make people safer. Quite the contrary. https://t.co/BMYVG861d0 h/t @NoLieWithBTC

[Archive: Rep. Abigail Spanberger @RepSpanberger]

When I began as a federal agent, I carried a gun and two extra magazines every day.

My mags were marked “for law enforcement use only” because they held more than 10 rounds. At that time, federal law limited magazine capacity to 10 rounds outside of law enforcement use. (1/3)

[Meaghan @meaghang]

Hi Glenn 👋,

Is this tweet celebrating Texas gun laws from you too? Because it sure as hell looks like you support 18 year olds buying assault weapons.

Be horrified at your own actions, or lack thereof.

Close your eyes and put yourself in these parents agony

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

No parent should drop their kid off at school and then need a DNA test to ID which child is their child because they have been blown to pieces by an AR 15

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Ultimately, the best way to stop the guns is to put their makers out of business. Lift the federal liability immunity for gun manufacturers and let them be sued by the families who have lost loved ones from deadly products knowingly marketed by these merchants of death.
