We must change that.
To save lives, Congress and state legislators must act: Ban assault weapons, make background checks universal, and enact red flag laws.

Despite opposition from police, paramedics and parents, Iowa Republicans introduced and passed permitless carry, a deadly law that allows civilians to carry loaded guns in public without a background check, safety training or permitting. https://t.co/qcnlLVpC0m

Read this thread. There were 376 cops at Uvalde. Despite that there were multiple major failures in the response that cost lives. More cops will not stop school shootings. What will is comprehensive federal gun reform. All the republicans “solutions” always involve more guns. https://t.co/Nsj3lggTdR

The police response to the Uvalde school shooting was riddled with “cascading failures,” according to a DOJ report released yesterday.

But we’ve all failed the victims of gun violence in Uvalde and across the country by not passing common sense reforms. pic.twitter.com/z5gBrJcNzc
