Barr: You don't get immunity for two years to run an election by saying I'm a candidate. These investigations have been going on for a while. Everybody knew about them even before he announced his candidacy.
The danger to your kids isn’t the rainbow crop top at target. It’s the semi automatic rifle with a high capacity magazine legally sold in the parking lot with no background check.
On May 24, 2022 in Uvalde Texas, an 18 year old walked into Robb Elementary School and shot and killed 19 children and 2 adults.
Two days ago in Houston Texas, a man paused his dinner date to shoot and kill a fake parking attendant.
Last night in Cleveland Texas, 5 members of a family (including an 8 year old child) were shot and killed by their neighbor after they asked him to stop firing his gun on his front lawn so their baby could sleep.
So when Republican lawmakers in a state where it’s easier to get AR-15s than books about Black history say their abortion ban is about being “pro-life”…
They’re full of shit.
The shooter at Old National Bank in Louisville wanted to show how easy it was to buy a gun despite having a serious mental illness.
He was legally able to buy an AR-15 and killed 5 people.
The shooter at Covenant Christian school in Nashville was under a doctor's care for an undisclosed emotional disorder and their parents had previously voiced concerns about their child owning firearms due to her condition.
They were legally able to buy 7 guns, including an AR-15 and killed 3 children and 3 adults.
Neither of those states have red flag laws, despite overwhelming public support for them.
Republicans blame “mental illness” for mass shootings, but refuse to do anything about it.
The question - is why?
We can’t go to the bank.
Can’t go to work, to the grocery store, to the airport, to our places of worship, to a farmer’s market, a concert, a nightclub, a dance hall, a movie or a doctor’s office.
Our kids can’t go to a parade, to the mall or to school.
You can’t ring the wrong doorbell, pull down the wrong driveway or accidentally hop in the wrong car, without fear of being shot.
Shot and killed.
In a nation with more guns than people, this has become our reality.
But it is not normal.
And it sure as shit is not ok.
BREAKING: The gun used in yesterday’s Louisville bank shooting was an AR-15-style rifle, federal law enforcement says.
The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead.
The SAME gun that’s been
the weapon of choice in many of the most horrific mass shootings in recent memory, including the Covenant school shooting in Nashville just two weeks ago.
The SAME gun brandished by Republican radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.
The SAME gun worn as a pin on the lapels of disgusting GOP lawmakers.
This is what we need to scream everywhere:
If 30 armed officers wearing full tactical gear with ballistic shields are too afraid to confront a single gunman with an AR-15, they SHOULD NOT be in the hands of civilians.
We have the answer. It’s the guns.
BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.
It’s not the drag queens.
It’s not the pot, not the porn, not the trans kids, not the video games, it’s not the locks on the doors, and it sure as shit ain’t the books about Rosa Parks.
You wanna PROTECT OUR KIDS?
Then do something about the motherfucking guns.
Like the overwhelming majority of Americans, President Biden and I believe women—in consultation with their doctors—should be in charge of their reproductive health care, not politicians.
BREAKING: The gay dating app Grindr says if Florida doesn’t stop passing homophobic and transphobic laws, they’ll reveal every Republican legislator and party official who secretly uses the app.
