Waking up to NOW Dayton.
One of deadliest weekends in less than 24 hours.
More than 30 people are dead in 2 American cities: #ElPaso and #Dayton
No more thoughts, no more prayers. We need #gunreformnow #EnoughIsEnough

The United States currently has more guns in circulation, nearly 350 million, than any country in the entire HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
No other nation is remotely close.
And as the number climbs, mass shootings climb, and gun deaths climb to a record high.

The more Americans die from mass shootings the more guns Americans will be led to believe they need to "protect" themselves. The more gun laws make it easier for them to "protect themselves," the more we all die.
The more we all die, the more we all die.#ElPasoShooting

“We invited the Republican governor, lieutenant governor and both Republican US senators representing Texas to join us this morning. They all declined. The Republican governor of Ohio also declined. We also asked the White House…That request, too, was declined.” #ElPaso #Dayton pic.twitter.com/V7wNqMQ9RG

Did you know that the United States is the ONLY nation in the world that has more guns than people?
We have 122 guns for every 100 people.
No other nation has 100.
Or 90.
Or 80.
Or 70.
Or 60 guns per 100 people.In fact, only 1 other nation has more than 40.
War-torn YEMEN.

The Right continues to blame mental illness as the cause of gun violence.
FACT: People w/mental illness commit less than 5% of violent crimes & are more likely to be victims than perpetrators.
The problem is easy access to guns.#ElPaso#Dayton#Gilroypic.twitter.com/MeabE9PtKw

Remember this video when someone in 45’s rally said to “shoot Immigrants” and rather than condemn him—45 laughed about it.😳
The #ElPaso terrorist acted exactly in accordance to 45’s joke & shot & killed 20 people.
This is what radicalization looks likepic.twitter.com/4aN6W2b4M8
