People have been fleeing #Guatemala for the US in record numbers recently, due to rampant institutional corruption, human rights abuses, and organized crime.
Such conditions are reinforced by a lot of firepower, which—thanks to a 2020 move by the Trump admin—is being sold by US gun makers. #politics #GunEpidemic #news

"As #GunViolence continues to be the #LeadingCauseOfDeath among #AmericanChildren, we as a society have to… step up & protect kids like Dylan & Devin. …these bills are a step to help us begin to address this #epidemic." #Slotkin said.
She said the 3 bills being introduced Wed will "work concurrently, covering all corners of the issue so that we can achieve our most fundamental of our responsibilities as elected officials: keeping our communities — & children — #safe."

@intelwire Well, then bring charges of criminally negligent manslaughter against the "GOP" for refusing to implement efficient gun control laws, which can & must save lives in America, just because they've been bribed by the Kremlin-funded NRA!

@npr Never forget: Today's "Republicans" don't want members of their organization to vote in favor of saving lives from being gunned down!

@fraying I wish everyone were as aware of responsibility as you, in a country with statistically 120.5 firearms per 100 U.S. civilians.
The highest number of firearms in civilian hands in the world by far.
Could it be THAT's the reason that so many humans are killed by gunfire in the U.S.?

@TexasObserver Maybe #tumblr should stop looking at dollars & bribes when trying to tell "mature" from "immature" & information from corrupt censorship.

America's "well-regulated militia", according to members of Congress, A-rated & bribed by the Putin-affiliated NRA.

@TonyStark NRA-"A ratings" for candidates for /members of congress & other members of the branches of power are not only traumatizing — they're killing people.
Besides the fact, that everyone accepting "donations" for being NRA-"A rated" may be furthering laundering Russian money gained through organized crime.
No one with a favorable NRA-rating belongs into any position in government, neither locally, state- or nationwide.
Supporters of shooting children, supporters of mass shootings, supporters of gun violence mustn't hold any public office.

@asociologist Without a creepy 393,347,000 (2017) estimated firearms in the hands of civilians in a country of 326,474,000+ there wouldn't be the need for scary active shooter drills at all.
P.S: Of those 393,347,000 civilians' firearms, only 1,073,743 were registered.

@energiepirat No parliament in its sane mind allows anyone but its own security guards to enter its grounds with firearms.
Especially unadvisable to permit guns in parliament in a country with 120.5 firearms per 100 civilians.
@Tbsa Europeans are shaking their heads over the mere idea of taking firearms into parliaments...

The #wisgop should be this focused on #GunEpidemic #GunControl #GunReduction and/or #BanAssultWeapons. But instead this Bill would ban felons from owning 'vicious' dogs. 🤦♂️

@TonyStark The Floridians DeSantis didn't manage to kill with his abysmally shitty & corrupt handling of federally provided vaccines to save lives from the COVID pandemic may die a sure death from DeSantis's equally corrupt handling of deadly gun circulation & spreading in Florida!

@sheislaurence Right! Investigating the motives of mass shooters is of no help, when Congress still complicitly approves the circulation & possession of 120.5 firearms per 100 U.S. civilians.
