In an emotional moment, Rep. Jared Golden apologized for opposing an assault weapons ban, said he’ll now support one, and asked his community for forgiveness in the wake of the horrific mass shooting in Maine. #BanAssaultWeaponsNow
Watching @FoxNews updates on horrific Lewiston, ME shooting. @seanhannity asks @NikkiHaley what can be done about these shootings. Her answer? 1) Law & order 2) Sanctuary cities 3) The cancer that is mental health in America.
Wake up. It’s. The. Guns.
Things America has that no peer nation has:
A gun lobby that’s perverted the Second Amendment
Republican lawmakers who let them do it
Easy access to guns for all civilians
A gun homicide rate thats 26 times higher than any peer nation
I #wearorange to honor survivors of gun violence and those who lost their lives far too soon. I listen to the voices demanding loudly that enough is enough. Thanks @MomsDemand for bringing us together for change.
WATCH: “…it wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle. I'm a gun lover. I have guns. I'm a former police officer. I’m a former Army officer ... prayers won't bring these people back. We need action in our legislatures.”
.@RobWittman I really appreciate that you are surveying constituents on topics important to us. Can you please add “Reducing Gun Violence” and “Mental Health” to your survey and email an updated version so you can truly understand constituent interest in these issues.
.@RobWittman Received your survey re: what we want you to focus on in Congress. You left out “Reducing Gun Violence.” Yet you have “Protecting Second Amendment Rights.” Firearms are the leading cause of death for children and teens. Do something! #commonsensegunreform
I'm still grieving the latest horrific mass shooting, but the fight to #EndGunViolence must continue. I've joined gun violence prevention activists across the country to learn more about the movement & how I can help.
Want to join me in this fight? Text FED UP to 644-33 today.
Love this honest perspective on learning from mistakes at work. What would you tell yourself if you could go back to your very first job? https://t.co/eCqSMOOhDj
