Instead of passing strong gun laws, Texas lawmakers want to train 3rd-graders to use tourniquets, specifically citing the need for children to help treat shooting victims.

We don’t have to live like this. Our children sure as hell shouldn’t die like this. https://t.co/gCOENjtzx8

Soon, GOP lawmakers and pundits will blame the Allen, Texas, shooting on everything but easy access to guns.

Americans aren’t more evil or more angry or more mentally ill than people in peer nations, yet we have a 25 times higher rate of gun homicide.

It’s the fucking guns. pic.twitter.com/iU1qZxSqCl

Here in Canada, we determined that the AR-15 assault rifle had just 1 purpose: To kill the maximum amount of people in the shortest amount of time. So Canada banned the AR-15. Why can’t America see the light and do the same? #TexasShooting #ar15 #gunviolence #AssaultWeaponsBan pic.twitter.com/L3Xe5CECP9

Jordan Neely was a New Yorker. He was a person. When he began to suffer from mental illness the city’s social safety net failed him, as it had failed countless others. When he exhibited signs of his mental illness in public he was murdered on the F train.

A homeless man was murdered on a NYC subway for doing nothing more than screaming that he’s hungry.

Then the Mayor calls it a “tragedy” related to “mental health issues” rather than a murder for which the murderer must be held accountable.
