  1. Btw, the photo of the injured teacher was mislabeled.

  2. Or gun control, because that actually works.

  3. Actually, it was the funding that was stripped away from Texas mental health services. It was Abbott's declaration of Texas as a gun sanctuary state. No permits, open carry, over the objections of Texas law enforcement. It was Abbott's complete lack of responsibility.

  4. Action on gun safety legislation is better. Contact your representative ASAP.

  5. Training, permits,gun safes, age limits, mental health assessment for each purchase, red flags, comprehensive background checks with enough time to fully vet the purchaser not a 15 minute chat, waiting periods, magazine limits. Screen private sales and gun shows. That works. Abbott declared Texas a gun sanctuary state, no permits, open carry, over the objections of Texas law enforcement. That doesn't work. Stop talking about whether it's better to hide in a classroom or a bathroom. Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation is overdue, because irresponsible governors like Abbott will never fix this. 🗽

  6. Exactly, Texas doesn't have gun control, that's why there are not laws in place that would have stopped this. Texas has no permits, open carry, over the objections of Texas law enforcement. That's chaos. People knew that would not go well, but Abbott didn't care. Uvalde happened months after that "gun sanctuary state" photo op that Abbott pulled. I hope he is proud of the numerous lives lost in Texas to numerous shooting events, not even just Uvalde. Beyond the pale. I'm not sure Abbott is human. An 18 year old should not be able to purchase an AR 15, much less two AR 15 plus more ammunition than a soldier is issued for a mission. And no one asked questions about that? The background checks in place currently are basically 15 minute chats. Many lawmakers have called for COMPREHENSIVE background checks with waiting periods because that would be more effective. But the GOP is trying to impress the NRA, not save lives, so here we are. Regain the House majority 💙 and 60 Senators, 💙 and we'll do it by ourselves. The majority of the USA population supports gun safety legislation. You are on the wrong side of history. 🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽

  7. Lowest gun death rates: Massachusetts, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island. Highest gun death rates: Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, Alabama, Wyoming. Gun control works. The GOP tries to deny that because they are supporting the NRA and gun vendors who are profiting from the carnage. Enough. Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation is overdue. See you at the ballot box. 💙🌊💙🌊

  8. Exactly. The current federal background check is not comprehensive enough. That's the problem that has been identified by several lawmakers. Why does the GOP block these bills and refuse to make improvements? People are dying. In addition, private sales and gun shows are not screened at all. Repeal PLCAA (2005) to restore liability to gun manufacturers, and their own lawyers will insist on gun safety protocols at point of sale to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings. Enough. People are dying, and the gun industry is reaping huge profits at their expense. The second amendment has outlived its usefulness to the nation if it cannot protect innocent people. There are no Redcoats; we have the National Guard. Truly comprehensive federal gun safety legislation is overdue.
