No other high-income country suffers the high death toll from gun violence we do.

Narrow reform won’t stop it.

The US has a lot of guns, and more guns mean more gun deaths.

It’s not a mental health issue.

A good guy with a gun is a fallacy. So is “self defense.”

The Second Amendment has been misinterpreted.

It’s the guns.

@TonyStark Nine. Those children were nine years old.

I'm fucking tired of reading about six-year-olds, nine-year-olds, ten-year-olds dying from gun violence. Tired of imagining kids the ages of my nieces and nephews. I'm sure parents are even more tired of it.

@MariaHill @TonyStark When you would happily step in front of a bus for your children, just imagining what those parents are going through is almost overwhelming.
