@realDonaldTrump@yoyoel@jack FACTS: In the last presidential election in 2016, 3 out of 4 voters returned their mail-in ballots in CO. 🤫President Trump has voted by mail in Florida, albeit from Washington, D.C., but he did not tout the system when asked... #factsmatter 🗳🇺🇲 https://t.co/vcrUwH71La
"It wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle with bullets... I'm a former police officer, a former Army officer. These M4s, AR-15s, they've got to get off the streets or this is going to keep happening" - Allen, TX mall shooting witness Steven Spainhouer tells @CapehartJ on @weekendcapehart
Unsafe places: Airport, beach, birthday party, cemetery, church, concert, doctors office, gaming event, gym, hospital, library, movie theater, park, restaurant, school, street, stores & shops of any sort, train, wedding.
Welcome to the Republican idea of utopia.
With only FOUR DAYS left to hold a committee vote, we cannot be silent. We need your help to hold leaders accountable by demanding that they prioritize raising the age.
Even though there have been several mass shootings in Texas in the past two weeks, Texas Republicans refuse to act. In fact, legislation to arm poll workers and to incentivize arming school staff are moving through the state legislature.
Texas lawmakers continue to undermine guns safety laws. During the last five years, Texas lawmakers reduced required safety training, allowed the open carry of handguns, forced guns on college campuses, and passed permitless carry.
Texans own among the most guns per capita of any state. If more guns and fewer gun laws made us safer, Texas would be the safest state. Instead it has high rates of gun suicide and homicide, and is home to four of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in the US.
Allen, Texas
@tedcruz I don’t get republicans, if it’s books, you ban books , if it’s words, you ban words, if it’s studdnt debt relief , you ban it, if it’s trans, you ban it
But if it’s weapons, you do nothing
“Your team? Are you also on the team? Offering what? Where are you right now? At the ‘killing field’ or at the hospitals, visiting the grieving families of your #AmericanCarnage site? This again, is your pat @TexasGOP team statement! It’s rather redundant and a weekly revolving door of massacre’s in schools, malls, military bases, stores, neighborhood church gatherings and an open season with an A-R 15 hunting on human beings. Another massacre # hashtag for your @GOP morning prayers.” @HoustonChron@dallasnews@statesman@KHOU #allenoutletmallmassacre @MSNBC
@tedcruz Cruz: I have offered whatever support is needed to do justice and help those in need.
Universal background checks?
Cruz: No
Assault weapons ban?
Cruz: No
Red flag laws?
Cruz: No
Fund mental health?
Cruz: No
Then what support?
Cruz: Thoughts & prayers...& even more guns
@tedcruz Demand gun manufacturers put digital locks on gun. Only you can help STOP this madness. Students need a bullet proof safe room at school~Seriously. You're lack of action with Gun Lobbyists is nothing more than legalized bribery. Anywhere else in Government you'd be fired Ted. ☄
