So happy that #HR8 passed. I know it’s an uphill battle, but our lives and our communities are worth it! #UpdateBackgroundChecks @MomsDemand https://t.co/YGjt2WhDV9
I am just devastated. Every bill to reduce gun violence in our state was defeated in committee by our republican lead state legislature. How many more people have to die before we change our gun laws to end this epidemic? #VABeach#EndGunViolence#ExpectUs#Enough#VoteThemOut
Congress must stand up to the gun lobby, and act now to pass a strong Red Flag law that allows families and law enforcement in all 50 states to ask a court to temporarily suspend someone’s access to guns when there is evidence that person poses a significant threat.
TRAGIC: Deborah McClendon, 42, was killed in the crossfire of a shootout while bringing her granddaughter some food. "You can't go to the store around here, you can't do nothing around this way," her daughter said.
This is the toll of daily gun violence. https://t.co/YuPRPr0xZf
Those who commit violent hate crimes should be barred from possessing firearms. It’s just common sense. It’s why I’m signing on to the Disarm Hate Act, which would prevent criminals motivated by hate from gaining access to dangerous weapons.

I admire the many young Americans fighting for a future safe from gun violence, but I’m heartbroken that they’re even contemplating their “last shot.” Shame on us. Step up for our children and join the movement to #EndGunViolence. Text READY to 644-33. @MomsDemand
The United States gets nearly 90% of its avocado imports from Mexico, and one of America's biggest suppliers says the US could run out in just three weeks if President Trump follows through on his threat to close the US-Mexico border https://t.co/WflXXpC214
@Well_Regulated_ Damn. Adults need to be accountable for their guns. Why isn’t a basic gun safety course required before buying a gun? Like driver’s ed, but for weapons. Adults need to #BeSMART to keep all our kids safe! @MomsDemand
@ewarren My dad did the same thing for me, except the economy had crashed, I lost my scholarships for preschool, and he flew out to Hawaii and watched my twins while I supported us all on a teacher’s salary.
My 85-year-old Dad, with Alzheimer’s, just got this survey in the mail. I want to know WHICH law will require a background check for every ammo purchase or restriction on number of firearms? @NRA your extremely misleading ?s in this survey are disgusting! #MOMSDEMAND
Our lawmakers are failing our children. My heart breaks for Rowan’s friends & family. The only gun-related legislation #ksleg has worked on this session lowers the age to carry hidden, loaded guns from 21 to 18. This is unacceptable. @MomsDemand#MomsDemand#ENOUGH

A gun in a domestic violence situation makes the women 5x more likely to be killed by her partner. #FightLikeAMother
