After 16 people were killed in a hot air balloon in Texas, Ted Cruz authored and passed legislation requiring operators to be medically certified to fly.

Because he's an NRA shill, today he's cheering the removal of safety requirements to carry hidden, loaded handguns in public.

Very normal video of a sitting US Senator suggesting Americans shoot people they don’t “love” while a soundtrack from a 70s porno plays in the background.

Louisiana has the second highest rate of gun deaths in the country. Shootings in New Orleans are up 51% since last year.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Texas lawmakers approve letting people carry handguns without a license, background check or training.

This is evil lunacy.

MEDIA: An accident is an event that happens by chance or that is without apparent or deliberate cause. When an adult gun owner leaves their gun loaded, unlocked and accessible to a child, it’s *negligence.* #notanaccident

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

Police officers are successfully asserting self-defense under circumstances that would never qualify as self-defense if asserted by any other person. They are held to a lower standard when, given their responsibilities and training, they should be held to a higher standard.

A reminder that Rick Schroder was arrested for domestic violence in 2019, and in 2020 helped pay Kyle Rittenhouse’s $2 million bond. He posed with this photo in a (now deleted) tweet threatening to kill people who trolled him online. Because toxic masculinity...

Breaking: The Senate has just passed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, 94-1.

The one vote against was Republican Josh Hawley.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied.

Does anyone know how long the @NRA has been telling us that Democrats are going to take our guns away?

It was 1975. Since then, over the last 46 years, the number of guns in America has gone from 95,000,000 to 393,000,000. So maybe, just maybe, the NRA has been selling a lie.

President Biden on gun violence: "Enough prayers. Time for some action."

“I’m required to fly private by the NRA security,” NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre during bankruptcy testimony.

As a personal aside, I once sat near Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Southwest Airlines. #nrabankruptcytrial

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

For those keeping track at home, some US Senators believe laws work to enhance the safety of duck boats and hot air balloons, but not guns.

It’s pretty simple: equal work deserves equal pay. #EqualPayDay

Leader Schumer: "This is infuriating. I would like to ask my Republican colleagues: Why are you so afraid of democracy? Why instead of trying to win voters over that you lost in the last election are you trying to prevent them from voting?"

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

The shooter in Boulder bought an assault weapon a week before the massacre. He had a conviction for assault and a history of aggressive acts.
Explain to me how background checks wouldn’t help?

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

A once-in-a-century pandemic cannot be the only thing that slows mass shootings in this country. It’s time for leaders everywhere to listen to the American people when they say enough is enough.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

I’m heartbroken by these recent tragedies of gun violence, and I just keep thinking about all the leaders who won’t take a stand to save lives and yet line up to pass bills that make it harder for us to vote.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

You literally own a restaurant called Shooter’s Grill and allow waitstaff to open carry. You refuse to go through metal detectors and you’re trying to change policy to allow guns in the Capitol. Also, this is how you show up for Congressional hearings. Keep it.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

NEW: The gunman in Georgia bought a gun from a Cherokee shop just hours before the shootings. #gapol
