People who are passionate about guns should be OK jumping through a couple extra hoops to make life safer for everyone...for law enforcement, for kids, for themselves.
Immediately extremifying every statement is getting real old.
Could imagine one person who wrote the Constitution seeing what we have done with guns and saying “Good. That’s exactly what I meant.” I fucking doubt it.
As you honor my father today, please remember and honor my mother, as well.
She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded two months after Daddy was assassinated.
Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK
I grew up a hunter and served as an Army Ranger.
I didn’t take my deer hunting rifle to Afghanistan, nor did I take my assault rifle deer hunting.
Don’t be fooled by the gun lobby. The type of gun matters.
Weapons of war have no place in our communities.
Trump’s lawyers were incoherent.

“How long? Not long!”
We’re not inaugurating Perfection tomorrow, family.
We’re inaugurating Promise.
We’ll have to continue to challenge when needed and change what’s unjust.
But there’s Promise.
There’s language that lifts and listening ears.
Let’s bend with the arc.
Maryland Gov Larry Hogan says his state’s National Guard unit was denied approval from the Secretary of Defense after DC officials asked for help in the Capitol. NINETY MINUTES LATER, Hogan says the Secretary of Army called to give him approval.
I don’t want law enforcement to violate the people that they encounter on Capitol Hill today.
I just want law enforcement to stop violating people when they’re protesting racism and police brutality.
.@BenSasse: "Today, the United States Capitol — the world’s greatest symbol of self-government — was ransacked while the leader of the free world cowered behind his keyboard — tweeting against his Vice President for fulfilling the duties of his oath to the Constitution."
All of this was predictable. It was predicted. And the lasting shame of history will be on all those who refused to act out of cowardice, ambition, or their own allegiance to an authoritarian movement.
