1) Shocking no one, the Sutherland Springs shooter was a domestic abuser. Congress and state lawmakers make it easy for abusers to get guns.
2) The @NRA actually fights in statehouses and courts to let domestic abusers stay armed: m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_57…
3) Federal law only prevents spouses, ex-spouses and co-parents convicted of abuse from having guns. Not stalkers or dating partners.
1) If you're upset about #SutherlandSprings and gun violence but you're not a gun violence prevention activist, we need your help NOW.
2) This isn't glamorous work - it's painstaking. We show up at statehouses and in-district meetings, we call Congress, we call companies.
3) That's how we killed hundreds of bad @NRA bills and passed good bills over the past 5 years. It's how we've changed corporate policies.
1) Repeat after me: After every mass shooting I will kick and scream and freak the f out because that's what the @NRA doesn't want us to do.
2) And if you're guilty of saying "Nothing happened after #SandyHook so nothing ever will," you're not only wrong - you're the problem.
3) We didn't get here overnight - the @NRA had a 30 year head start. They've hijacked our nation and now it's on us to take it back.
