Heidi Li FeldmanTo understand the horrendous volume of mass shootings in the U.S., it is imperative to appreciate how the expiration of the last federal assault weapons ban freed gun manufacturers to push AR-15s into common usage. Here’s gift access to recent reporting on this, published in today’s Washington Post before the episode in #Nashville. https://wapo.st/40lZWh4 1/ (short thread) #GunViolence #GunIndustry
John Caveney woke is me🛠️@heidilifeldman here’s an idea, remove the acronym AR and use assault rifle, that way it’s much better to understand it’s not a tool to defend your home under some archaic amendment, but a weapon of assault…,,,

And anyone who wants to gunsplain that the 'AR' actually stands for ARmalite can go and shite.

@dec23k @heidilifeldman absolutely! As can anyone who opines that the founding father’s amendments are sacrosanct! The second amendment was made before anyone could imagine an assault rifle or that mass shootings of school children would be a weekly occurrence!! They’d be bloody horrified!
@jaycee @heidilifeldman
My country's history was shaped by the AR-18 during the 1970s and 1980s, but they were only ever called "Armalites" when they made the news.
My country's constitution has had 38 amendments since 1939.
I have read all of them, and I helped to get one of them repealed.
The clue is in the name: it's an amendment.
