What does GOP policy protect: Our kids or the guns?

GOP policy protects the guns.

At the expense of our children's lives.

The GOP LOOSENS gun laws after shootings:

“Seven of the deadliest mass shootings in the history of the US happened in the past decade.

And four of those shootings, including the Uvalde shooting, happened in Texas."

#Uvalde
#TexasSchoolMassacre

You know how those Uvalde cops stood around & did NOTHING...

while the children of Robb Elementary were being gunned down?
😡

The GOP is preventing gun safety laws from even being discussed...

while American children are being gunned down.
😡

#GunSafetyNOW

Sadly, this is one of the most accurate back-to-school ads I’ve ever seen.

Watch to the end.

Imagine one of these children is YOUR child.

This is what GOP policy has brought to America.

Every journalist should be asking GOP pols these questions until they get an answer:

"Is this the moment to reform gun laws?”

“Why do you not think that guns are the problem?”

“Why is America the only country that faces this kind of mass shooting?”

“Don’t politicize it!” the GOP scolds whenever kids are killed.

WHY NOT?

As @DavidPepper points out, the GOP has politicized gun ownership for years

Does the GOP fear what would happen if Americans who support gun SAFETY got equally political?

#Uvalde

#NeverAgain #Again

Just like they’ve done every time there’s been a school shooting,

GOP politicians are saying:
Don't politicize it.
Now is not the time.
It’s too soon…
… Not now…
… Not now…
… Not now…

If not now, WHEN?
