I’m in total awe of the extraordinary students in Florida. Like every movement for progress in our history, gun reform will take unyielding courage and endurance. But @barackobama and I believe in you, we’re proud of you, and we’re behind you every step of the way.
Republicans can’t win a public debate about assault rifles and gun control. They can only hope the urge to debate withers. It doesn’t feel like it will this time.
@gaycivilrights@chelsadler These children that are protesting now, will be eligible to vote! Watch out! The blue wave is coming! Assault Rifles banning is coming!! Respect for all these children protesters! They are brave and determined!
Warning: this tweet is political.
I own an AR-15. I've used it for target shooting maybe 3 times in the past decade. Honestly I don't need it and could easily live without it. I'd happily give mine up if it meant I'd never see innocent people get gunned down by one again.
@realDonaldTrump@NRA No surprise that you back the Russian-funded NRA who are now attacking American law enforcement. Screw the victims - use tax payer money to buy more guns, giving more profits to the people the NRA really represent - the gun and ammo manufacturers. Right?
@Annakhait @tilly_rachal @realDonaldTrump Your rights are more important than the lives of hundreds of children and people? Your selfishness is showing!!! Why would you need an Assault Rifle? A rifle that is only meant for Military Combat! Get a life and give a life, to save the children!
@The_UnSilent_ @realDonaldTrump Putting MORE guns into play??? Putting more guns into the system is stupidity! We need to ban assault rifles, PERIOD! Assault rifles do not have a place in civilian society!

You know why right wing conspiracists are attacking these kids?
Because they are E-F-F-E-C-T-I-V-E.
Not political hacks. Not paid shills. Not indoctrinated. Not character actors.
They are young people of character compelled into action by a horrible crime that cost 17 lives. https://t.co/UYSOih3LXw
The NRA thinking: "They're just kids. They'll get all excited about their proms or their Facebook walls or something; maybe some new singer or fashion trend. Don't worry. They'll forget."
Not this time.
FYI... Trump raising the age limit to 21, to be able to purchase a gun is not the answer! ALL Assault rifles must be banned ! NOW! Children are counting on it!
