Yep, I’m going to “politicize” the FSU shooting because gun violence is political. The reason America has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation is because politicians care more about pandering to gun lobbyists than protecting their constituents. pic.twitter.com/NurATBaQ3J

When asked about the FSU shooting, Trump said: “I have an obligation to protect the Second Amendment.”

Republicans are actually lowering the age limit to buy guns to 18, even though 18 to 20-year-olds are FOUR TIMES more likely to commit gun homicides. This is craven. https://t.co/cyNZDGjZ8u

🚨 NEW: Trump just repealed the ATF’s zero tolerance policy, putting reckless gun dealers who knowingly sold to traffickers and criminals back in business.

Trump doesn’t care about our safety. He cares about helping his gun CEO friends profit off of violence in our communities.

125 Americans die from gun violence each day. Instead of acting to end this epidemic, the Trump admin fired most of the CDC staff who work tirelessly to research & prevent gun deaths.

Gun deaths take an average of 24 years away from their victims. This epidemic is stealing our futures and sense of safety in our communities, and our leaders are letting it happen.

Three people were killed and three others were injured last night in a shooting in Spotsylvania, Virginia.

Tennessee doesn’t have:

❌Universal background checks
❌Gun owner licensing
❌Large capacity magazine ban
❌Waiting periods
❌Community violence intervention funding
❌Lost and stolen firearm reporting

These laws are proven to prevent gun violence. Antioch HS deserved better.
