One of my best friend’s stepdaughter was at The Gorge yesterday. My man had a pretty terrifying 15 minutes (the kid is fine) this Father’s Day. Hug your loved ones and #melttheguns

I'd like the US to be a country where a person's ordinary mistake doesn't regularly result in death at the hands of a quick-triggered gun enthusiast.

Knocking on the wrong door? YOU GET SHOT. Shoplifting? YOU GET SHOT. Jogging while black? YOU GET SHOT. Run away from the cops? YOU GET SHOT. Enjoying an outdoor concert? YOU GET SHOT. Going to class? YOU GET SHOT. Work at the bank office? YOU GET SHOT. Dancing with friends at the club? YOU GET SHOT.

This is what American Gun Culture has brought us.

The numbers are unambiguous: More guns = more deaths by guns. Once again, Louisiana is near the top of an undesirable list.

Another social media platform. Another tragic day in America.

Same message from me.

Thinking of the folks in Monterey Park. I was going to post #XTC's brilliant original but I found this fine #Phish cover so maybe more will get the message by sharing it. Original in comments below.
Side Note For Those Wondering If I Like Phish: I am not a big Phish fan but I do respect them. I like their covers better than their originals, alas, but I know they are super talented. I've tried and just not made the jump. #MeltTheGuns

Melody Vaccaro, the executive director of Nebraskans Against Gun Violence, “It’s important when people are bringing guns into public spaces that they have done something to show that they’re willing to follow safety protocols, they know what the safety protocols are, they know what the laws are, what they’re allowed to do, what they’re not allowed to do.”
