Are you numb yet?
Do you feel powerless and hopeless? This is the far-right's goal.
Be strong and resolute.
We must stop pretending that this is a mental health issue. Other countries have crazy. They don't have the @NRA.
#OpenCarry has increased gun deaths in Texas by 62%. The answer is NOT more guns.

Another Horrific Shooting

Tragedy on repeat

For years now, after one massacre or another, I have written some version of the same article, explaining that the nation’s current gun free-for-all is not traditional but, rather, is a symptom of the takeover of our nation by a radical extremist minority. The idea that massacres are “the price of freedom,” as right-wing personality Bill O’Reilly said in 2017 after the Mandalay Bay massacre in Las Vegas, in which a gunman killed 60 people and wounded 411 others, is new, and it is about politics, not our history.
