I would think that *maybe* a military that is able to attract and retain the best troops, and with the best morale, even when some of those troops happen to be LGBT, is scarier to enemies than one excludes qualified LGBT soldiers because conservatives are frightened of them. https://t.co/SVQMNSc7vz

It’s not about policy or convictions; it’s about who will kiss the ring, praise him, and ensure he can do whatever he wants. https://t.co/qBf0907m9r

The fact is there are many protective measures that make a ton of sense, enjoy overwhelming support among the American people, and that don’t disarm a single law-abiding citizen.

Those who ignore this simple fact & scare their supporters with lies aren’t serious about helping.

While you’re at it, please also name one law-abiding American that incremental training and certification requirements for the purchase of an AR-15 would disarm.

Also, name one law-abiding American that would be disarmed by limiting access to 20+-round magazines.

Hey, @TedCruz: You’ve said that the objective of every person clamoring for better gun policy is to “disarm law-abiding Americans.”

Please name one law-abiding American a universal background check would disarm. Thanks.

We all have to make split second decisions. Cops shouldn’t get a pass for making bad and cowardly ones. https://t.co/rWMG5D74Hn

The circular logic of we need guns in case the government tries to take away our guns gets me every time. It’s never if the government is going to take away half the population’s bodily autonomy. It’s always just the guns.

I mean you can also ask people to remember the men and women that have died for this country. But that would require you not being an asshole. https://t.co/J6YAUjJAft

I have complex and conflicting opinions on gun control/2A. But saying “if you try to take my guns I will shoot you dead” is not really helping your cause.

They are out of ideas. All they want to do is stop anything to do with guns. We tried their way. It’s time to do what needs to be done! — Trump calls for school security systems that Uvalde elementary had https://t.co/Ez77mbzyFZ

When a mass shooting takes place, the first concern of way too many people is “was it one of ours or one of theirs who did it?”

Maybe start with the proposition that all ideologies can give way to fanaticism and violence, it’s all of our jobs to guard against this.

Shame on everyone involved in this including the @w3c for letting it happen. https://t.co/RkR3Qd6T2k

A whole lot of people are about to learn some very unpleasant truths about how thoroughly the system protects cops from almost any accountability.

“The Uvalde shooter did not kill those children with his purported mental health struggles. He did not shoot them with estrangement; he did not murder them with malaise; He killed them w/ a goddamn assault rifle” https://t.co/G4l460mwt3

In my opinion, Congressman, America needs more people who will take risks to protect kids when it’s their duty to do so. https://t.co/ZSEuBw6mco

Like sealing Chinese workers to live in your factory wrong? Children mining your batteries wrong? Being sued for segregating your workplace wrong? Sexual harassing and silencing workers wrong? Denying COVID dangers wrong? Stealing Tesla from its inventors wrong? https://t.co/J2exLpu9cq
