Former President Obama just summed up the Gun debate in under a minute:

"I think somehow — and there are a lot of historical reasons for this — gun ownership in this country became an ideological issue, and a partisan issue, in ways that it shouldn't be. It has become sort of a proxy for arguments about our culture wars, you know? Urban versus rural. Race is always an element in these issues. Issues of class and education, and so forth.

Instead of just taking a very practical approach, like we do, let's say, for example, with car safety, where we say, 'All right, we got a bunch of accidents. Let's have seat belts. And let's make cars safer. And let's engineer our roads so that we prevent them. Instead of thinking about it in a very pragmatic way, we end up really arguing about identity, and emotion, and all kinds of stuff that does not have to do with keeping our children safe."

I'd love to hear both sides of the political spectrum weigh in on this clip.

#FedUp with lawmakers who prioritize gun lobby interests over saving lives?

We've made it easy to call your US House rep and tell them to take action on gun safety: Simply text the words FED UP to 644-33 and we'll connect you!

[Moms Demand Action @MomsDemand]

Mass shootings make the news, but each day 120 Americans are shot & killed, and hundreds more are wounded.

It’s time to act. Call your U.S. rep and demand they reinstate the bipartisan assault weapons ban, text FED UP to 644-33 and we’ll connect you.

I don’t even know what else can be said
I’m just tired😔

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

We need comprehensive gun reform.
1. Ban assault weapons.
2. Raise the age to buy guns.
3. Universal background checks.
4. License and register all guns.
5. Enact red flag laws.
6. Limit gun purchases.
7. Vote out all NRA-owned politicians!

Today’s deadly mass shooting at an Allen, Texas, outlet mall is the latest reminder that #ItsTheFuckingGuns.

A concept that changed my life.

[Jamaal Bowman @RepBowman]

Republicans won't do SHIT when it comes to gun violence, but try to tell me to calm down.

NO.

We can't calm down. People are dying everyday while we wait.

[Moms Demand Action @MomsDemand]

Moms will not become numb to gun violence that is taking our children’s lives. We will keep fighting until this preventable crisis is eradicated.

If you’re ready to do something about gun violence, join us: Text ACT to 644-33.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

I know I'm supposed to tweet all day about today’s school shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville. With three kids and three adults shot and killed.

Just like I was supposed to write about the 11 other school shootings this year alone.

But f*ck it. I refuse.

We all know damn well who's to blame. You know it's the NRA. You know it's Republicans who are blocking sane gun reform.

At best, they ignore these murders. At worst, they LOVE them — because talk of gun reform will come up, and that INCREASES gun sales.

Either way, blood is on their hands. And the rest of us are filled with rage.

It's always the same. Every. Single. Time. And it must change.

WTF more is there to say?

@latimes Absolutely disgusting, her comments were so full of hate I don’t care how “travieso” this child was acting. They’re all an embarrassment and need to resign.

Keep Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic in your thoughts tonight, as it's clear the news media did not. 🙏
