(1,3) The gun lobby and its supporters are lying about the Gilroy shooting. They are calling yesterdays shooting a failure of California's tough laws. WRONG!!! THIS SHOOTING WAS A FAILURE OF FEDERAL LAW. @senatemajldr, open up Senate Graveyard.
(2,3) The teenage shooter legally bought his weapon in Nevada. California requires you are at least 21. California police engaged shooter within one minute. There were metal detectors and a perimeter fence. A determined killer
(3,3) with an AK 47 purchased elsewhere was able to cause mass carnage. This shooting clearly demonstrates the need for a national policy on gun safety to save American lives. Thankfully the house understands this and it is doing it's job. @senatemajldr, this is now on you.

(1,3) LISTEN TO AND WATCH THIS VIDEO!!! For those who ask me why I focus on GUNS and not school security because my daughter was killed in a school, here is my answer. I support everything being done to secure our schools,
(2,3) however, until we deal with the reality of gun violence our schools are not truly secure. What happens to the hardened school, the shooter waits outside for the crowd, just like in this photo. @SenRonJohnson, you are currently conducting hearings on school security.
However, your hearings on best practices does not include the reality of the gun and how to do more. The gun is always the common theme in deadly violence. We need you and the rest of the Senate GOP to do more and work with me and others to stop gun violence.

(1,3) Today, some used these hearings to get to the truth and to defend American from a foreign attack, that is good. Others, unfortunately used the hearings to try and discredit Mueller to protect the President and are willing to let the attack on America continue.
(2,3) Forget the current occupant of the White House at this time. If you love America, you should be doing everything possible to defend from this Russian attack. I am thankful for those legislators who showed today that they love America.
(3,3) As for the GOP, you now have a choice to make. Defend the attack and the attacker or defend America and this democracy that you swore to protect.

(1,3) @RandPaul, RESIGN TODAY!!!! You are undeserving of your job. How dare you not stand up for American heroes who stand up for you. Get off your sanctimonious ASS and spare us your flawed reasons. If this was a budget concern, you would never have voted for the tax cut.
(2,3) EVERY AMERICAN, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT @RandPaul DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU. Please send his office a message and ask him to resign today. How dare he put the lives of people you love behind the cost of a tax cut that he voted for.
(3,3) My brother and first responders who have gotten gravely ill or died because of 9/11 did so to protect this country and would do so again. @RandPaul told everyone of them he did not care and that the cost of tax cuts he voted for was more important than our heroes.

Six-year-old Steven Romero identified as one of the 3 people killed in the #Gilroy mass shooting tonight, a dozen more were injured, status ranges from fair to critical. #GilroyGarlicFestival nbcbay.com/8rQGQDV
Steven Romero's mother and other family members were also injured in the #Gilroy shooting; due to the economically inhumane US medical system, they now face thousands upon thousands in fees for medical and funeral costs on top of their grief and trauma. #GilroyGarlicFestival
If you live in the #Gilroy area (or not), seek out information on how to assist this family & others. Often forgotten during the conversations surrounding these events is how victims are often driven into debt due to medical and funeral costs. Try to help.

Well, since you’re willing to discuss this in a civil manner, let me inform you. This will be a series of tweets that hopefully will educate you as to what’s really going on.

Charles Krauthammer (columnist), Disarm the Citizenry. But Not Yet, Washington Post, Apr. 5, 1996
We're going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily -- given the political realities -- going to be very modest. . . .  [W]e'll have to start working again to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen the next law, and maybe again and again.
Right now, though, we'd be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice.  Our ultimate goal -- total control of handguns in the United States -- is going to take time. . . .  The first problem is to slow down the number of handguns being produced and sold in this country.
