Assault weapons are weapons of war that were designed to kill a lot of people quickly.
They have no place on the streets of civil society.
It is time to renew the assault weapons ban.
My wife doesn't work but I earn a good wage. My whole life is watching alerts on my phone with constant joint account spending. I sit there working while hundreds are frittered away, every day on crap. It is infuriating and depressing. Why save when you can buy another shit lamp
I'm not seeing enough people talking about this horrific move by Republican officials in Alabama to restrict women's freedom of movement. You've got to be kidding me.

Bringing this back in light of recent news:
Get a limited-edition But Her Emails hat and support @onwardtogether groups working to strengthen our democracy.

It’s time to finish the job and ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
Because who in God’s name needs a 100-round magazine on a gun? That's a weapon of war.
Lied on my resume and said I could code. Boss asked me to take on a project. I paid a guy in Karachi $80 to do it overnight, then told my boss it would take a month.
We've done this four times now.
This month, I call attention to one remarkable woman in particular:
Kamala.
She's shattered barrier after barrier – the first woman to serve as San Francisco’s District Attorney, California’s AG, and our VP.
@VP, thank you for your partnership in the progress we’ve made.
We had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004 that prohibited the manufacture or sale for civilian use of certain semi-automatic weapons and banned magazines with 10 rounds or more.
Mass shootings dropped during that decade.
We did it once and should do it again.
fear of abandonment is a really tough thing to overcome. if someone has left or shut you down coldly in a moment of raw vulnerability, it’s so easy to internalise this and believe they will do it again, or that other people will do it. unlearning this is difficult, it takes time.
It's time for Congress to ban assault weapons – we did it in 1994, and shootings dropped. After Republicans in Congress let it expire – mass shootings tripled.
Today, I'm signing an Executive Order to fight gun violence, but Congress must act.
Enough is enough.
