Since 2005, the NRA and the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council have helped make these so-called "stand your ground" laws the norm. #standyourground #gundeaths #NRA #ALEC #dutytoretreat #firearms #gundata #selfdefense MORE: america.cgtn.com/2023/05/05/did…

President Biden (@POTUS) announced an executive order to implement backdoor universal background registration checks (UBCs) WITHOUT CONGRESS OR A NEW LAW. 😠

This is a direct violation of the Constitution & will do NOTHING to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals.
Data shows that a majority of denied NICS background checks are FALSE POSITIVES.

But yeah, let’s do MORE background checks through a failed and failing system and delay law abiding citizens access to firearms. Government logic. 🙄

Of course, @JoeBiden will also be spending $231 MILLION on publicity campaigns to teach EVERYONE how to “red flag” gun owners & have their guns confiscated.🚩🚩

For that, you can thank the @SenateGOP who voted for @JohnCornyn’s Compromise & the $1.7 trillion gov’t funding bill!

1️- Massive 14.1% ATF Budget Increase to Facilitate Biden’s Pistol Ban

By the time this bill is passed, @ATFHQ will have increased by nearly 25% since the Trump Administration. This money rewards the Biden Administration's tyranny over gun owners. 😠
2️- 50% Budget Increase for ATF’s Tracing Center that Maintains an Illegal Near-Billion Record Gun Registry

18 U.S.C. 926(a)(3) makes federal gun registration illegal yet @ATFHQ has nearly a billion firearms, serial numbers, & gun owners names in a digital searchable database🤔
3️- $700+ Million in Funding Available to Bribe States to Pass “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation Laws

A MASSIVE pool of grant money known as Byrne-Justice Assistance Grants are now available to fund state gun confiscation laws.

Thank @JohnCornyn for this #guncontrol!

Prosecution clearly shows the jury that trespassing is not a felony and therefore a citizen’s arrest is NOT applicable.

#AhmadArbery closing arguments
The defense tried to say that #AhmaudArbery could have gotten away by jumping into a swimming pool or climbing a tree. 🤦🏼‍♀️
“Did the defendants commit acts with their pick up trucks that placed #AhmaudArbery in REASONABLE FEAR of receiving serious bodily injury?” Prosecution to the jury.

In my neighbourhood there was a serial sex predator breaking into women's homes and sexually assaulting them in their own beds. It's bad enough that women routinely have to take more precautions than men to do basic things like go for a walk or a jog. 1/ #sexualassault #crime
I can't describe to you what it's like to be afraid to do something as necessary as falling asleep in your own bed at night. This is what happened to many women in my neighbourhood. 2/ #VAW
At the time this was going on, a lot of women talked to me about their fear, about being afraid in their own homes, being unable to fall asleep or stay asleep in their own beds. There were a lot of exhausted women in my neighbourhood. 3/ #crime #fear
