NEW: Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo outside the NRA convention: “If Greg Abbott can call 3 special legislative sessions to keep people from voting, he can call a special session to keep babies from being murdered in their classrooms.”

Red line is when Bush allowed Federal assault weapon ban to expire. Never let them tell you nothing can be done

More people attended the protest outside the NRA convention than the actual NRA convention.

Literally thousands of new volunteers in New York have signed up with Moms Demand Action this week alone. If you’ve had enough and are ready to take action, join us - just text ACT to 644-33

$100,000,000. That’s how much money the NRA has spent since Sandy Hook to help elect Republican candidates who will support their extreme agenda.

Tax the hell out of ammunition.

It’s not “politics” when a citizen complains about weak gun control laws to a politician. Representing a citizen’s concerns in the political sphere is LITERALLY a politician’s job. (Representing gun manufactures is NOT.) #GunViolence

As a combat veteran, I can tell you: I would never want to be armed with only a pistol against an assailant with an AR-15. We can’t just arm our teachers. We need to pass common sense policies like an assault weapons ban to stop these attacks.

The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on June 15 that will focus on gun violence and kids. Chairman Durbin: "If Uvalde is not a tipping point for my Republican colleagues, I don't know what is."

NEW: The Texas Senate Democratic Caucus is asking Gov. Greg Abbott to urgently call a special session, demanding age of gun ownership be raised to 21 and requiring universal background checks.

Ex-President George H.W. Bush’s letter of resignation in protest as Life Member of NRA, May 1995:

Oh: Catholic Archbishop Michael Jackels of Dubuque, Iowa is calling for gun control legislation… …and also calling out fellow bishops who deny Communion to politicians because of their stance on abortion but not their stance on gun control, climate change, etc.

The Texas shooter and the shooter at my high school both waited until they were of the legal age. Don’t tell me these laws can’t do anything.

@og_huff David Hogg 🟧 Between 1982-2022, 85 involved weapons which were legally obtained. 16 were obtained illegally.

Daniel Defense sold assault weapons to both Uvalde shooter & Las Vegas shooter and received 3.1 million in PPP funds in between. They now offer financing for mass shooters. ‘Kill Now, Pay Later’ put them out of business. Daniel Defense

The NRA should be sued into oblivion and the proceeds should go to the families of victims of mass shootings. RETWEET IF YOU AGREE.

I hope you’ll call your Congresspeople tomorrow at 202 224 3121, the Congressional switchboard. Tell them you want them to support HR8 to expand background checks, close gun show loopholes and more. If Repubs filibuster, which they will, let the whole world watch them do it.
