I want anyone (including Trump) who celebrated 17yo Kyle Rittenhouse for killing 2 men & wounding another with an AR-15-style rifle (Smith & Wesson M&P 15 that was straw purchased for him) to shut up about Joe Biden pardoning his son for a gun charge that is rarely prosecuted.

pro tip: if you said nothing when Donald Trump pardoned donors, cronies, extended family members and war criminals, then sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up about Joe Biden pardoning his own son. just put a fucking sock in it

Mayor Woodfin lost a brother to gun violence & witnessed his sister shot at a young age. He also lost two cousins & a classmate this year alone.

“These are victims who will not get a chance to see their family members on Thanksgiving.”

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father.
Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

🧵Gun sale surges are common during contentious elections when people fear restricted access, but these Vermonters are buying out of fear of rising hate.

If guns truly made us safer then the U.S. would be the safest in the world with 465 million civilian gun stock.

Domestic Violence & Firearms Gun access increases the risk of murder by an abusive partner. Preventing people who have committed domestic abuse from possessing firearms helps prevent shootings.

In the U.S., a domestic violence victim is five times more likely to be killed when an abusive partner has access to a gun. Women in the U.S. are 21 times more likely to be killed with a gun than women in other high-income countries. giffords.org/lawcenter/gu...
