(1,3) I took the time with @Alyssa_Milano and @DadoftheDecade to have a conversation with @tedcruz. Why did we do that? Because my daughter died of gun violence. Ted, you are a miserable liar in everything you say here. During out meeting, when you raised concerns
(2,3) I asked you if you can pass a background check or if you beat your wife. It is on the video from the live feed attached here. You said the answer was no and with that we agreed you have nothing to worry about. Are you worried about something?

(3,3) .@tedcruz Stop lying to the American people about why people like me fight for their rights to life and to be free from gun violence as you fight for donations from the @NRA and to ensure that more Americans will die from gun violence.

(1,4) I am truly struggling with how I feel about this. I am on this list of Jewish people who defined the last decade. I am a combination of embarrassed, sad, and honored. I am only on this list because my daughter was murdered.

(2,4) I simply have done my best to respond as her dad, determined to make sure that I do everything possible to reduce the gun violence that took her life. To be on this list with @AndrewPollackFL because we responded to our daughters murder and did so in a different way is
(3,4) sad for me. I am grateful that people are paying attention to what happened to our families and to our efforts to do something about it, even if our path is different. I am also honored to be on this list with

(1,4) I HAVE A QUESTION FOR MY LEGAL FRIENDS. As the facts keep coming out, I have a question for the Jurors (Senators) in impeachment who have made it clear that they will ignore facts and vote to protect the current occupant of the White House because they like him.
(2,4) As a father whose daughter was murdered in Parkland and is waiting for the murder trial of the murderer, what if jurors in that trial did the same thing as the @GOP? What if the jurors decided that even though they knew he did the murder, that they understood the facts,
(3,4) that they would find him not guilty because they felt bad for him or that they liked him? What if the jurors chose not to listen to the evidence because they were so focused on their feelings for the murderer? Isn't this the same thing?

(1,3) IT WAS A GHOST GUN!!! Tow weeks ago, following the High School shooting in California, the gun lobby screamed that California's tough laws did not help. Why? Because the gun lobby pushed for undetectable ghost guns.

(2,3) Once gain, weakening gun laws nationally are to blame. Last year, I worked with others in the gun violence prevention movement to deal with ghost guns. Unfortunately, this administration, through Sec of State Pompeo has been working to expand the reach of ghost guns.
(3,3) This shooting is what we were warning about. This was preventable and this is directly the fault of the gun lobby and this administration. While we have been fighting this in the courts, this will require legislative work in the states and in DC to slow it down.

Hi, @tedcruz

I read your thread about guns, the Bible, self defense, and black rights (which made no coherent argument).

You don’t like "playing politics" with guns.

You left out how you, the NRA, and Russia use guns to play politics and to further your own goals.
@tedcruz 1/ From Yale prof. @TimothyDSnyder an expert in Russian fascism: When Putin took a close look at the U.S. for weaknesses to exploit, he noticed the uncontrolled gun violence.
chicagotribune.com/entertainment/…
@tedcruz @TimothyDSnyder 2/ Putin understood that there was no better way to stoke discord in the U.S. than to pump more guns into the hands of citizens.

You see, Ted, outsiders (like Russians) understand right away that the idea that gun ownership equals freedom is nonsensical👇 chicagotribune.com/entertainment/…

I've been hearing a lot of resignation in people's voices and tweets, in the face of the latest tragedy at #PowaySynagogueShooting. People are giving up hope that we can ever bend the curve on our #gunviolence epidemic.

--This thread is dedicated to destroying that despair.—
6 years ago, we watched those babies walk out of #SandyHook - & were torn apart, as a nation, by the memory of those who didn't make it.

Many of us had been told that we "couldn't" talk about guns.

But after Sandy Hook, many of us said "no more; we will not be silent."
A few bravely started talking and writing about why #gunviolence was a #publichealth issue. Those few, turned into a wave. The groundwork was slowly laid.

1) Nazi mind control tactics and the Hollywood-media-campus- DC machine: #BrettKavanaugh is 100% innocent.

It is up to the rest of us to save his life.

It’s coffee time.

Over the past 2 days, hundreds of doctors have shared heartbreaking accounts of how #gunviolence is a #publichealth issue. These are the stories of #docs4gunsense ... May their words make a difference.

The result of a bullet ricocheting inside the skull and destroying the brain on CT scan. The worst trauma I have seen. GUNS ARE A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE – Gen Geller MD, NY #docs4gunsense @drgenngeller
The damage a bullet does to a 1 year old brain as it ricochets back and for. The guilt the family feels. The sadness we all feel.
