Slavery was a crime. Those who are still today profiting from that crime now wanna pass laws to make people say their kidnapper, rapist, torturer, murderer great-grandpappy ran a job internship program. FOH.

@afshineemrani Dr.Emrani, beliefs have nothing to do with science.

[M😷 Aponte, MD @maya_luz2012]

@elonmusk @joerogan A career physician scientist does not need to debate a politician and non scientist on evidence based medicine. It’s so pitiful to see people with large platforms (and even larger egos) make fools of themselves and waste the opportunity to contribute positively to society.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Guns are the #1 killer of kids in America.

More than car accidents and more than cancer. We can't let that become just another statistic.

Let's ban AR-15-style firearms and other assault weapons.

@AngryAmygdala Why can’t your PCP prescribe? This seems inappropriate and unnecessary

No words

[Eric Umansky @ericuman]

A 11-year-old boy, who’s Black, called 911

Police came to his house & shot him.

“His words were, ‘Why did he shoot me? What did I do?’” his mom said.

There’s body-worn camera footage

But police won’t release it. They won’t even show it to the family.

BREAKING: Police arrest a 32-year-old man in Florida after catching him lurking outside a preschool with an AK-47 and handgun ready to go in his vehicle.

The man allegedly told officers that he was on his way to the CIA, which is located about a mile away from the school in question.

Thankfully, tragedy was narrowly avoided in this case, but what kind of country are we living in where a man can trespass onto preschool grounds with a literal weapon of war? What kind of country allows a person to own a gun like that in the first place?

Retweet if you support banning AK-47s and AR-15s!

In light of our recent COD discussion about expanding the limited license rule for IMGs, thought this might contribute to the conversation
