@somervilleny @Coca44791276 @AZ_Brittney Hey, i'm all for using a 78 caliber solid-lead ball (which was widely known for causing INSTANT amputation and gruesome .. horrific injury) to stop the bad-guy.

and here I thought you guys didn't have the stomach to cause suffering .. Good for you!
@somervilleny @Coca44791276 @AZ_Brittney and oh yes .. They caused TERRIBLE .. TERRIBLE injury.

That soft lead ball would mushroom out to nearly 2" in diameter, and if it didn't outright kill you, the lead-poisoning or massive amounts of collateral internal shrapnel would ensure a slow (but assured) painful death
@somervilleny @Coca44791276 @AZ_Brittney Add to that they were wildly inaccurate.

I'm sure Little ol' Ethel will enjoy having a 3oz ball of death hurtling through her fine china at over 1400 ft/sec

and the massive increase in the demand for lead won't cause environmental or health concerns either, i'm sure.

🧵Today I'm remembering my grandmother, Alberta Williams King, who was taken from us prematurely not by old age or disease but a close-range gunshot wound. (1/4) Image
Six years after my father was assassinated, she was shot and killed while playing The Lord's Prayer on the organ in church. The killer was able to reload his firearm twice killing a total of two people, including my grandmother. (2/4)
I wonder how long Americans will have to live with the trauma and fear of gun violence. I wonder how many more could've been killed that day had the perpetrator chose an assault rifle, or utilized high-capacity magazines similar to those used in recent tragedies. (3/4)

This thread will address Mass Shootings and Homicides.

I will illustrate:
-Laws and Gun Control has no Impact
-The Number of Guns has no Impact
-Age is irrelevant
-Race is irrelevant
-Enforcing Law and order is the key to solving the problem
1/15
Additional Laws have no Impact if Law and Order is not enforced.
The Laws Biden want at a National level are incl below

Illinois has 7 of these laws in place and Maryland 8

Yet their homicides per 100,000 is 54%>Florida and 38%>Texas.

Mass Shootings BY AGE of the Shooter

Changing the minimum age won't solve the problem.

Politicians are ignoring the facts!

#Taft #Massshooting #Chattanooga #Uvalde - @GovStitt @tedcruz @GovAbbott @BrianKempGA @USSupremeCourt @GOP @NRA, Wayne Lapierre, Bobo, MTG, why not get rid of your bodyguards, fences, etc., and replace with thoughts and prayers? Oh wait, you're afraid of gun nuts too?
@GovStitt @tedcruz @GovAbbott @BrianKempGA @USSupremeCourt @GOP @NRA 2/ @TheGoodLiars thanks Wayne LaPierre at the NRA Convention for all his thoughts and prayers. And how about we start naming #MassShootings for Republican leaders like we name hurricanes?
@GovStitt @tedcruz @GovAbbott @BrianKempGA @USSupremeCourt @GOP @NRA @TheGoodLiars 3/ #TexasMassacre #ProLifeMyAss - Cowards like Ted Cruz, Wayne LaPierre, @GLOCKInc are the problem. #Uvalde Massacre has 19 dead children and 2 dead adults. For gun nuts who fear criminals with guns, why not let them buy #Kevlar vests like they want the rest of us to have?

Stop shaking your heads and throwing up your hands and asking why these mass shootings happen or when they will end.

We know EXACTLY why they happen, and exactly how to stop them. (1/3)
They happen because we, as a nation, have decided that unfettered access to weapons of mass murder and maximizing profits for the gun industry are more important than real, flesh-and-blood human lives. (2/3)
The bloodshed will end only if and when we muster the collective will to pass common-sense gun reform legislation and restore sanity to our nation's gun laws.

"Thoughts and prayers" solve nothing. Call your members of Congress. (3/3)
