Holy. Shit. What a brilliant, horrifying cover.

Today’s a great day to point out that the NRA successfully lobbied to cut off funding for gun injury & prevention research for 20 yrs after a 1993 study found keeping a gun in the home was strongly a/w an increased risk of homicide by an intimate acquaintance or family member. 1/

@Lenscapper1 @50_yow @a_standal @japonotlan There’s federal legislation that protects arms manufacturers and dealers, making them immune from these kinds of suits

[Lara Schwartz 📚 free speech =/= just for jerks @Lara_Schwartz]

Beto: here are 4 solutions.

Gun fetishists: his name isn't really Beto.

Beto: opponents of my solutions take NRA blood money.

GFs: Beto was rude at a photo op. Society is doomed.

Media: the parties can't come together! We are so divided!

@marcslove 👏 👏 👏

@MacFarlaneNews This makes no sense. They didn’t think they could help injured children?

[Scott Braddock @scottbraddock]

Every Texas Republican I've heard say it's not the time to politicize guns this week will be speaking at a political convention about guns this week in Houston.

[ElliotT @EDTTexas]

@haleytalbotnbc I thought he was speaking by video

[Ken Olin @kenolin1]

Trained police officers are terrified of a person with an assault weapon.
What more do we need to know in order to ban them?

@HatakeNighn @RKS_888 @AmandaSnJhn @eleeSexton @lauraapollo @Amy_Siskind @CNN This isn’t true. A gun at home is 4x more likely to be involved in an accidental shooting than self defense. https://t.co/OLyyOax9up

As an ex prosecutor from Uvalde, I can say based on my past interactions with Uvalde PD, you will never know the truth about what went down in that school until every inch of video tape is released to the press.

[ElliotT @EDTTexas]

@Doug_Abbott_10 @WolverineCorner @transscribe Cancel culture definitely an important point to make in a discussion about a school shooting that killed 21 people

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

The moment that Greg Abbott said the Uvalde shooting “could have been worse” should be the end of his political career.

[catherine 💙🌎🦄🌈♻️🇺🇸🌊🌊✌🏼🌺👧🏻👧🏻👧🏻🌜🌴 @catherinenunya]

I just heard Texas governor Abbott say this about the school shooting at Uvalde. “It could have been worse.” ….to the parents of the children who were killed, no. It could NOT have been worse, you feckless assh*le. 😡

[ElliotT @EDTTexas]

@HappyCowGF @MrGreene_1848 @JoshuaPotash https://t.co/e078muN05g you can just google columbine protocol and different articles will reference. Pre columbine my understanding is they approached these as likely hostage situations (setting up perimeter, negotiating with suspect, etc)

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

In the aftermath of the Uvalde shooting, Greg Abbott went to a re-election fundraiser while Beto O'Rourke went to donate blood. The difference could not be more obvious.

[ElliotT @EDTTexas]

@HappyCowGF @JoshuaPotash Yeah I don’t think the situation could have been much worse. They also got one child killer by alerting the shooter to her hiding spot
