Over the last two decades, more school-age children have died from guns than on-duty police officers and active duty military combined.
Think about that.
Congress, the time to pass stronger gun safety reforms is now.
NEW: A Florida man was arrested for trespassing at a McLean, Virginia, preschool. Officers seized two firearms from his car, including an AK-47. The 32-year-old man asked to use the bathroom inside Dolley Madison Preschool, but was not allowed in. #valeg

I want you to know this story. So you can understand how sweeping and suffocating the gun violence epidemic is.
I hope you read this entire thread.
1/ It starts with the shooting of 20 year old Shane Oliver on October 20, 2012.
Instead of passing strong gun laws based on data, NRA lackey @GovBillLee wants to spend $200 million in taxpayer dollars on ineffective attempts to prevent school shootings, which also happen to enrich his buddies in the gun and security industries.
This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.
PAY ATTENTION: Republican lawmakers in Tennessee are taking action to stop people from protesting gun violence. They are not taking action to stop gun violence. #TNLeg23
TODAY, THE TN HOUSE IS VOTING ON IF THEY HAVE THE VOTES TO EXPEL REPS. JUSTIN JONES, GLORIA JOHNSON, AND JUSTIN PIERCE FOR STANDING WITH GUN SAFETY ACTIVISTS TODAY.
THIS IS AN ACT OF FASCISM.
CALL 615-741-2343 NOW TO STAND AGAINST THIS AND WITH ACTIVISTS.
Tennessee Speaker Sexton won't pass an assault weapons ban, but he WILL try to expel 3 lawmakers who joined young people in demanding gun safety. Tell him what you think about that 615-741-2343.
If the number doesn't let you call anymore: https://t.co/XXoCOlwKdj
WHEN DO THE GUNS START MAKING US SAFER? Tennessee keeps weakening its gun laws, including passing permitless carry in 2021; meanwhile, the rate of gun homicide in Tennessee has increased 110% over the last decade.
Shouldn’t Tennessee be one of the safest states in the nation?
Kids in Tennessee aren't being killed by drag shows or gender affirming care, but state lawmakers banned them anyway to "protect children." Meanwhile, guns are the leading killer of kids in Tennessee and lawmakers are actually weakening state gun laws. https://t.co/QnS4N6xyTQ
TBH I felt super weird putting my hair in the mail. Then I got this hair email and smiled big.
20 inches donated, y'all. I hope some tiny queen out there is living her best day with that beautiful brown hair. #cancersucks@wigsforkids
