Rubio has an A+ rating, & has taken $3.3 million from the NRA. He is just one of many R’s (Cruz) who are handmaidens to the gun lobby. The safety of the public is not as important as their #NRABloodMoney.

“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”
This is probably the most common argument heard from gun advocates. It’s true that guns can’t kill by themselves & DO indeed need someone to pull the trigger... Guns don’t kill people, but allow someone who WOULD kill much easier, faster, more lethal means for killing. #GunReform

While the @NRA is being investigated for funneling money from Russia in 2016, GOP politicians are offering #ThoughtsAndPrayers to kids returning to school in August.

Not one piece of gun legislation has been introduced by the GOP since Columbine.
A tax exempt lobbyist org is lining GOP politician’s pockets to look the other way while our nation’s children are being slaughtered.

Our country desperately needs #GunReformNow. It’s proven that states with stricter gun laws have far less death by firearm. Read this. We need to discuss what specifically needs to be done to reduce the death toll. #Enough nytimes.com/interactive/20…
For the record, I do not think we need to ban all guns, or repeal 2A. We can pass effective and sensible #GunReform without being extreme.
But it is clear that more firearm laws equals less death by firearms. Those of us that are advocating for #GunReform need to get on the same page, be sending the same message. So let’s come up with some aspects that we can all agree on.

2/It’s NOT fallacy: our peer counties that’ve enacted #GunLaws do NOT have shootings like the US.
Military grade weapons do not belong in the hands of civilians. A shooting occurs in this country on average every 60 hours.
This is an Epidemic.

When I talk about #Gunreform, I am also talking about it for our police. These trigger happy people need to have their guns taken away. Not to mention it's becoming difficult to tell the white supremacists from the cops these days.
And no, I'm not going to listen to the "good cop" bullshit. There is no such thing as a good cop so long as they all swear an oath to uphold laws that violate the rights of a large portion of the population.
"Bad cops" are simply put on desk duty or paid leave, only to be found not guilty of a crime after being reviewed by wait for it....other cops.

Statistically, in the US a shooting incident takes place every 60 hours. We are down to hours in between shootings. Not days, weeks, months or years. It’s HOURS.
Every day in the US, 96 people die from gun violence & 222 people are shot but survive.

Australia, had 4 mass shootings between 1987–1996. After 1996, It took Parliament just 12 days to pass stricter gun laws. They haven’t had a mass shooting since. It’s been 34 days since Parkland.
The US needs to follow their lead.
Here’s how they did it

...well, until politicians start preventing them from performing their DUTIES. These CAREER PROFESSIONALS do not politics affect their work. They follow the facts, they verify tips on illegal activity (#SteeleDossier) or clarify FALSE accusations (illegally wire tapped).

Investigations are SUPPOSED to have a NATURAL conclusion. That means tips, leads, facts, ENTIRE investigation has exhausted all relative leads & come to a VERIFIABLE conclusion. The same way we expect ALL law enforcement to do when we're accused of crimes, or crimes against us

I just wrote a letter to my congressmen using Democracy.io
It's interesting that the Democrat had the choice of using #GunControl for a topic.
For the two Republicans who pretend to represent me, I had to use #education as #GunReform wasn't an option.

1. My letter started with:
Even Justice Scalia agreed that the 2nd Amendment does not extend to military weapons in the hands of civilians. More guns in schools just means more shootings and more deaths.

2. I continued with:
For this reason, should it come to pass that guns will be put in schools, I will tender my resignation as a public school teacher in the state of Florida. A teacher in Parkland gave his life protecting his students.

CA Dems declined to endorse @SenFeinstein for senate this past weekend calling for "new blood." Before we dismiss the 84 year old senator who broke gender barriers by becoming the first woman senator from California, let's look at Dianne Feinstein's long history #ImWithDianne
Dianne Feinstein began her career in 1970 when she was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. She was the 1st female president of the board in 1978 when Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk were assassinated. Feinstein discovered Milk's & and announced his death
Feinstein succeeded Moscone as Mayor of San Francisco as the 1st woman to hold that position. In 1992 Feinstein & Barbara Boxer were elected to the senate on the same ballot. They were the 1st women CA senators. In 2012 she claimed the record for the most popular votes w/ 7.75m

Ever since then, the talking point was corrected in that there were actually 18 school shootings in 45 days. And many in both the media and politics have used it as a rallying cry to make some legislative push to impose new restrictions on guns.

Due to lack of funding in our public schools, they do not have enough counselors & R ill equipped to help. They just kept moving him from school to school. This incident, unfortunately, ultimately is on the Parkland School District and any other local law enforcement agency.

Obama did nothing because he wanted re-election & that was more important for his ultimate agenda, in part, to bifurcate our Country so bad there is no way to repair it.

THREAD PLEASE RT 1/ I am compiling a list to show the direct correlation between gun deaths and NRA contributions in '16. Our politicians are bought which is why #GunReform will not happen. Knowledge is power, now do something about it. There have been 1,832 gun deaths in 46Days
2/ These are the number of deaths in 2016. The money is from the 2016 elections, from the NRA NC - $6.3M - 1,409 gun deaths @SenatorBurr race FL - $3.2M - 2,704 gun deaths @marcorubio race MO - $3M - 1,144 gun deaths @RoyBlunt race IN - $2.8M - 997 gun deaths @SenToddYoung race
3/ This money is from the 2014 elections, from the NRA - All their senators won that they bet on that year - Total number of deaths '14-'16 NC - $5.5M - 2,698 gun deaths @SenThomTillis race CO - $4.8M - 1,513 gun deaths @SenCoryGardner race
