If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

— Gun laws in other countries have stopped mass shootings

— More guns don't make us safer

— The vast majority of Americans want gun control

Inaction is a policy choice.

@rbreich We have a Supreme Court that rules the Second Amendment gives us a right to own guns.
Nothing in the Amendment gives us that right unless we are members of "a well-regulated Militia". This deliberate misuse of the Amendment is costing us dearly. Until we can rid ourselves of a Republican majority on the Court, we will not get gun violence under control. Vote accordingly or continue to suffer the consequences.
