Schnauzers don't like guns either. #WearOrange #MomsDemand

Now the crazy prayer people have left the clinic. We are at #MomsDemand for #WearOrangeDay

Hey Californians, we need your help getting#AB28 over the finish line. Please text California to 644 33 to be connected with your state legislators to ask them to support AB28. If the gun industry is going to make massive profits while promoting gun violence, they should also help fund the costs associated with the impact of gun violence in our communities. #caleg #endgunviolence #ittakesallofus @momsdemand #MomsDemand #MomsAreEverywhere #CommonSenseGunLaws

@breadandcircuses There is a continuous thread of 19th and 20th century women uniting in solidarity for progress in America. Abolition, suffrage, temperance (whatever you believe about libations, the motive was to stop abuse). In the 20th century, civil rights and birth control. I'm seeing it now with #momsdemand . I'm in electoral politics and I see #momsdemand everywhere. For the moment, men may rule the roost, but "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

2011. Shouldn’t Texas be one of the safest states in the nation?

“Texans own among the most guns per capita of any state. If more guns and fewer gun laws made us safer, Texas would be the safest state. Instead it has high rates of gun suicide and homicide, and is home to four of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in the US.”—Shannnon Watts, @Momsdemand

@marq I hate to suggest it, but local groups can best be found on Facebook. That’s how I joined our local Dems groups and #MomsDemand.

volunteer Latatia Stewart was killed from gun violence. She worked tirelessly to fight for gun reform in the name of her son Gregory, who was shot on 5/29/20. His killer has not been found. She was in the midst of planning a #WearOrange event.

My 13YO just told me she worries that a school shooter will ask all the kids to recite bible verses and kill anyone who can’t. I reminded her she can quote from Genesis, having read the story of Noah at her bat mitzvah.

I shouldn’t have to do this. @shannonrwatts #MomsDemand #GunControlNow

Assault weapon and high capacity magazine ban for IL is signed!!! And effective immediately! #MomsDemand #Thisismylane

IL senate just passed Protect IL Communities Act!! (Assault weapon and high capacity magazine ban, increases length of red flag law prevention of gun purchases, establishes IL state police group to combat gun trafficking.) Has to go back to the house tomorrow 🤞🏼. #MomsDemand #firearmepidemic #thisismylane

ILLINOIS RESIDENTS! Contact your state legislators to support HB5855 #ProtectIllinoisCommunitiesAct
"The Illinois proposal would not only ban assault weapons and large capacity magazines, but would also establish a federal-state partnership to stop the flow of illegal guns into Chicago from states with more lenient gun laws. In fact, 60% guns recovered by Chicago police come from outside Illinois."

"The proposal also raises the age of eligibility for gun ownership from 18 to 21, an age group especially prone to gun violence. Those 18-20 are three times more likely to kill than those who are 21 and older."

The number of gun-related deaths in a country is correlated to the number of guns per 100 people. This correlation holds even if the United States is removed from the data. Correlation does not always = causation. But research that is finally being conducted (20 year delay thanks to the Dickey Amendment), consistently shows that the # of guns is the problem. #ThisIsMyLane #FirearmEpidemic #Enough #ThisIsOurLane #EndGunViolence #PublicHealth #GunSense #Suicide #SuicidePrevention #MomsDemand

“I’d rather not try to define a whole group of guns as being no longer available to the American public,” said Republican Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota.

Ok, Senator. But we will.

I know correlation does not equal causation. However, where the US lies on this graph of number of firearms vs. number of mass shooters is pretty striking. More evidence that our #gunviolence problem is because of the guns. #thisismylane #momsdemand #firearmepidemic #enough #massshooting #thisisourlane #
