Hello, @DLoesch. Since the Parkland shooting, common sense gun reform measures have been adopted at the local, state and federal level, while the private sector has made guns less available. And we are not done yet. (Thread) #NoRA
Federal: spending bill that went into law will make it easier for the Centers for Disease Control to investigate the causes of gun violence. #NoRA
Federal: spending bill also includes bipartisan provision that offers more money to states that comprehensively upload information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. #NoRA
Federal: spending bill also includes more money for school for metal detectors and 1 billion over ten years for safety measures. #NoRA
FLORIDA: Florida banned bump stocks and raised the minimum age at which a person can purchase firearms from 18 to 21. #NoRA
Gainesville, Palm Beach Countyand Leon County, Florida Reaffirmed No Armed Teachers. #NoRA
CONNECTICUT: Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed a bill in May that bans bump stocks as well as other firearm enhancements. #NoRA
DEERFIELD ILLINOIS, passed an ordinance that not only bans assault weapons, but will penalize residents who don't forfeit or secure weapons that fall under the ban by June 13. #NoRA
ILLINOIS: Oregon closed the “boyfriend loophole,” taking guns from domestic abusers who were not spouses or domestic partners. IL house and senate passed an age increase on assault weapon ownership. Awaiting reconciliation and Governor signature. #NoRA
LINCOLN NEBRASKA: The Lincoln City Council voted unanimously on an ordinance to ban bump stocks #NoRA
BOULDER COLORADO: assault weapons ban
NJ: as of this week Red Flag law, allow medical professionals to have guns taken from people endangering themselves or others, armor-piercing ammunition ban, justifiable need for concealed carry permits, background check on all transfers, reduction in maximum magazine capacity.
NEW YORK: People convicted of domestic abuse in New York will now have to turn over all firearms, not just handguns. #NoRA
OREGON: boyfriend loophole. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signed a bill in March to prevent convicted stalkers and domestic violence offenders from buying and keeping guns. #NoRA
RHODE ISLAND: State lawmakers passed two bills -- one banning bump stocks and "other rapid-fire gun modifications," and one creating a statewide "red flag" policy aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of people who could pose a danger to themselves and others. #NoRA
VERMONT: Vermont Governor with an A rating from NRA signed laws expanding background checks, banning bump stocks, limiting magazine capacity, and increasing the minimum age to buy firearms. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #NoRA
WASHINGTON: Bump stocks will be illegal in Washington state, starting July 2019. From that date, police will be able to seize them. #NoRA
MA: passes Red Flag Law which would allows relative or someone else close to a gun owner to get a court to issue an extreme risk protection order if they believed the person is dangerous. Awaiting reconciliation on gun trafficking amendment that limits to 15 gun purchases a yr.
DELAWARE: Red Flag Law implemented and bump stock ban. (Pending governors signature).
So in closing @DLoesch, it seems that our lawmakers are #NoRA and listening to what the majority of gun owners and non-gun owners want—stricter gun laws. We’ve only just begun to chip away at the gun lobby’s power. We. Are. Winning.

My thoughts on this sad day for America (a thread):

Right-wing & corporate special interests selected this nominee and propped up his nomination with tens of millions of dollars in dark money.

We need to prioritize protecting our courts, which starts with retaking the Senate.
They picked Kavanaugh because they know he is a reliable vote; he is a lifelong foot soldier for these interests, a political operative who became one of the most partisan ideological judges in the country.
That they supported Kavanaugh despite his obvious and disqualifying flaws - temperament, dishonesty, rabid partisanship, credible accusations of sexual assault - speaks to how beholden they are to these special interest powers, and how critical the Court is in their plan.

Even as hundreds of separated children remain terrified & alone in detention, the Trump Administration is moving to try & replace family separation with indefinite family incarceration in an unacceptable bid to jail children indefinitely and subject them to more trauma and abuse.
To move this plan forward, the Trump Administration is trying to strip away existing safeguards and protections for children through a new regulation to allow for the long-term imprisonment of children in facilities with well-documented abusive conditions.
The number one priority of the Flores Settlement Agreement is that children not be incarcerated. This foundational principle, which the government agreed to in the settlement, recognizes that the best way to ensure a child’s wellbeing is to keep them out of jail.

America! Take note! What happened today was an act of patriotism by Senator Booker for the people. But maybe it’s what happened next was most outstanding—the entire @SenateDems in the judiciary committee stood with Booker and therefore stood with the American people. 1/5
The @GOP wants you to believe that they are the party for the people. The way they want you to believe this is by just repeating the words over and over. Words are just words. What actionable items have the Republicans done for the American people? 2/5
Weren’t we taught actions speak louder than words? Think about which party fights for your right to healthcare and equality — which party fights for your right to live out the American Dream by giving those willing to work hard for it, every possibility to achieve it. 3/5
