#TheOrangeMenace told the crowd at an #NRA event Friday that when it comes to #MassShootings, people need to "Get over it" and that Mass Shootings are "not a gun problem".
(Oh, and he also called for The Death Penalty for #Biden before a crowd of heavily armed gun nuts.) 🤔
#Trump pledges to 'roll back' Democratic President Joe #Biden’s #gun#regulations put in place by Democratic President Joe #Biden & to fire the #ATF chief during a lengthy rally speech to the #NRA on Sat, during which he accepted the influential group's #endorsement.
The U.S. has had 7 mass shootings in 24hrs.
There are more guns in America than people and the U.S. Supreme Court will not do anything to limit the right of citizens to bear arms - it’s written into their Constitution.
‘A well regulated militia is essential to a free state’ !
I mean this could have been relevant in the 18th century but in the 21st century ?
Hundreds of children and teenagers have already been killed this year and over 4000 deaths related to gun violence so far in 2024.
It’s so ingrained in American culture that apparently it forms part of your identity…hmm
This sends a chill down my spine and further strengthens my resolve that I would never set foot in the U.S. - it’s just far to crazy and scary
Republicans dont care about stopping school #MassShootings because scaring teachers away from public schools moves the whole US education system closer to privatization, where it's legal to discriminate
‘Selfless and heroic’: #Iowa principal who was wounded in school shooting dies
The development will change the shape of the NYC trial, since #NYAG#LeticiaJames was seeking to oust #WayneLaPierre from his position. She is also seeking financial penalties from #LaPierre & 3 other defendants.
LaPierre played a leading role in transforming #GunCulture in #America, but the last ½ decade of his tenure at the #NRA was marred by scandals & internal upheaval.
The #rightwing focus on allegations of gun-toting queers and shooters’ potential #mentalillness is merely a way to stigmatize queer people while also drawing attention away from #guncontrol regulations that could help stop #massShootings in the first place.
British news org The #Guardian has created a brilliant/horrifying visualization of the day by day mass shootings in the #US since 2014. There is a mass shooting (at least four people are shot or killed, not including the shooter) almost every single day in #America. Most don’t even make the news because they are just so common.
