How many bodies have to pile up before Republican leaders realize they’re holding blood money from the NRA?
As we close out Suicide Awareness Month, the latest episode of Conversations with Ku features Tekesha Smith, a licensed clinical social worker. Tune in to hear her valuable insights on mental health: https://t.co/lfIFXXzGj7
@sandyhook Absolutely! No need for the public to have access to this type of weapon or any other weapons similar to any military grade firearms. Also and of course, let’s really address “mental health” at the same time.
how fucked up is this: some Texas dipshit was firing his AR-15 into the air and his neighbors asked him to please stop and so he shot them all dead on the spot. four adults. one child. what the fuck. this is why the rest of the world thinks we've lost our fucking minds
On May 24, 2022 in Uvalde Texas, an 18 year old walked into Robb Elementary School and shot and killed 19 children and 2 adults.
Two days ago in Houston Texas, a man paused his dinner date to shoot and kill a fake parking attendant.
Last night in Cleveland Texas, 5 members of a family (including an 8 year old child) were shot and killed by their neighbor after they asked him to stop firing his gun on his front lawn so their baby could sleep.
So when Republican lawmakers in a state where it’s easier to get AR-15s than books about Black history say their abortion ban is about being “pro-life”…
They’re full of shit.
I think everyone should have access to quality mental healthcare.
But we also need community support.
So I created the Legacy Members Club, a safe space for Black women.
We will have support groups, webinars, courses, guided meditations, workshops, etc for Black women who don’t have a therapist or just want a little extra support.
BREAKING: Governor Jay Inslee of Washington just signed a bill that will ban assault weapons sales in the state. The law, which passed the House 56-42 last week, also bans the distribution and manufacturing of these weapons.
There are over 4 dozen firearms on the list of banned guns. The ban also covers semiautomatic rifles that are fewer than 30 inches long. Additionally specific hand grips and thumbhole stocks are banned.
I believe this is a good first step, but a national ban in my opinion would work much better at deterring the use of these weapons.
This one is so special to me. I am excited to have @aubreyCsmith503 join our @CUBuffsFootball family. His punishing style of play will be a great addition to the already rich tradition of Linebacker greats here at CU. #skobuffs
