#BREAKING. UPDATE. At least 16 killed, 50 to 60 people are injured in the incidents, though it’s unclear how many are injured due to gunfire, the sources told CNN. #Maine#GunViolence
@GottaLaff Thank you, as I saw this news here first. It’s ridiculous that this news is anything but the top story in the US right now, yet I’ve seen at least one major publication have it second under the new speaker article. 😡
@bruce@michaelbrien@GottaLaff
This is the 565th Mass Shooting this year, the 31rd Mass Murder. - Gun Violence Archive #LewistonMaine#MassShooting
FYI #MikeJohnson the new #SpeakerOfTheHouse voted against:
Assault Weapons Ban (H.R. 1808)
H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act
The Protecting Our Kids Act (H.R. 7910)
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (S. 2938)
@michaelbrien@GottaLaff horrible as it is to acknowledge, another mass shooting in your country is not the novelty that a new Speaker is, and also horrible to acknowledge is that the Speaker has a lot more power to affect the laws in your country than yet another round of killings.
My condolences to the families of those killed, and I so wish something would be done by your lawmakers to stop this happening. But until they do, mass murder isn’t top news any more :(
