There are lawmakers and citizens in this country who think having an assault weapon is more important than the life of a child.

As a veteran I can tell you there is no reason for a private citizen to own an assault weapon. They are useless for hunting, horrible for personal protection. They are designed for, and best suited for killing people in combat situations.
We protect many animals and sealife from predatory humans by laws that protect them. Yet, we cannot give the same to our children. There is something so wrong about that.
Only 45% of them...🙄
I ended a long time friendship once because he told me, "school children are just unfortunate collateral damage for our 2nd Amd. rights."
It's more important than your child or my child. Just not theirs. Because that would be a tragedy.
...all Republicans.
Well, the gun manufacturers give them money, the child doesn't. Sadly I think that's all the explanation you need.
That is the crux of the matter. Their children are protected and the gop doesn’t care about anyone else
There is no kid who wants to die for your right to own an assault rifle.
Pretty much every one of them that own a gun like that. It really only has one purpose.
I argued with a guy I used to work with - he had 3 assault type weapons - his justifications: *I’m an American - it’s my right! *It’s fun to blow watermelons to smithereens *only mentally ill people are a problem to have one Weapons of war have no place in our society, period! 😔
Yes, Republican lawmakers and ammosexuals love, Love, LOVE assualt weapons more than children. Reminder . . . Every Democratic Congressperson voted for the assault weapon ban and against weapon manufacturer immunity. Republicans lapsed the weapons ban and gave immunity to gun manufacturers.
Money, money, money
What are they so afraid of that they feel God won't protect them from?
RFK Jr--it's about Mental Health not guns. Trump--we are shutting down mental Health aid.
It’s sickening to see
Thank you for this. So true 🥲
I’m so sick of it.
That’s the entire GOP
Perverse and saddening. Only in America could we have a convicted felon for a president and a former heroin addict in charge of Health and Human Services. Pity us.😝😢
There is absolutely nothing more important than the life of a child.Really the life of anyone.We are all precious.
After Uvalde, I asked a man on Twitter: If you saw a little girl, and knew her life would be saved if you gave up your assault rifle, would you do it? And he said no.
As the GOAT George Carlin said...'Conservatives... all in favour of the unborn. Theyll do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own....obsessed...conception to birth. After that dont want to know them. No daycare, no school lunch, no pre-school. #uspoli
So true. And so weird.
Such selfish fucks
Their gun safety policies are enabling and supporting the #1 cause of child death in America #TheServileEnablers
until it's "their" child
GOP lawmakers refuse bipartisan gun control legislation. Their mega-wealthy donors include gun profiteers/NRA. It’s unconscionable how easy it is for civilians to buy an assault weapon. These mass murdering killing machines were designed for military use; for war!
The problem is "responsible" gun owners.
A total scheme by the NRA to get more money for the gun makers and stuff their greedy pockets with stock options and wealth-- and the MAGA Congress is in on it. "Pro life" my a@$!
And they think so because they’re afraid of totalitarian government, ironically.
They call it, "The Price of Freedom". But they miss the essential point that the victims, the children and teachers, have the Freedom of their Right to Life.
Lots of them. Way too many in fact.
macho macho man I've got to be a macho man
So sickening 😡
