This is so disheartening. Students have spoken out but we are still not being heard. Call your representative today, go to their office, email them, let them know you don’t support Stand Your Ground.

[Aftab Pureval @AftabPureval]

The police, the prosecutors, and our Republican Governor all oppose this reckless legislation that will lead to more gun violence. Call your representative today and ask them to vote no. We need to end gun violence in this country. https://t.co/oy2FvnbKkB

It’s heartbreaking that this account has become a diary of mass shootings. Just goes to show how we have accepted them as “normal.”

We cannot.

Shootings in elementary schools. In high school. In synagogues. Are not normal.

What must it take for common sense gun legislation?

Today someone decided to shoot up a Madden event in Jacksonville.

It’s time esports events (large and small) double down on security for everyone in general and players specifically.

[UA Students Demand Action @UA4Action]

How many more?

[Jax Sheriff's Office @JSOPIO]

Mass shooting at the Jacksonville Landing. Stay far away from the area. The area is not safe at this time. STAY AWAY #TheLandingMassShooting

Schools are a place of learning and only learning. Not guns.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The Education Department is considering whether to allow states to use federal funding to purchase guns for educators, according to multiple people with knowledge of the plan https://t.co/frJa17IDP7

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

“Everything in your power?” Why don’t you:
→ Call on Congress to pass universal background checks?
→ Direct the CDC to fund gun violence research?
→ Adequately fund ATF or NICS?
Most Americans support these steps. https://t.co/sQFsrRjkUQ

Just yesterday Trump Supporter and former senior editor for Breitbart, Milo Yiannopoulos said:

“I can’t wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight."

Today a shooter guns down journalists in Annapolis, Maryland.

[UA Students Demand Action @UA4Action]

Rhetoric becomes action.

Words matter.

@realDonaldTrump, the animosity you have brought about on journalism is a danger to our democracy, to the people, and most importantly, to those who risk themselves every day to shed light on the truth. https://t.co/wgqMzceHzf

[Ernest Owens @MrErnestOwens]

After #Annapolis, I'm going to need all of you to think twice about using the term "fake news" and what similar rhetoric from this President has had on the press because of it.

This is not a game, y'all.

[Jackie Corin @JaclynCorin]

My heart goes out to the people of #Annapolis — sending love and strength to your community.

If you are a reporter, please be courteous to the victims and refrain from showing the shooter’s face/mentioning their name.
