“This is freedom?? To be shot at a mall? Shot at school? Shot at church? Shot at the movies? We have become a nation that is more focused on the right to kill than the right to live. This is not what the American people want. Do your damn job, #Congress.”— Gov #Newsom
“WHEN DO THE GUNS START MAKING US SAFER? Texas keeps weakening its gun laws and selling a record number of guns; meanwhile, the state’s gun homicide rate has increased 90% since
1/2
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

@cbarbermd I live in Denmark, which has strict gun laws. For every 100,000 Danes, only 0.9 person is killed by guns each year.
In our neighboring country of Norway, only 0.6 is killed.
In Texas, this number is 15.6.
When republicans say, "Guns don't kill people", what they are really saying is, they are not intelligent enough to understand statistics.
