1/ Shooter who killed 10 in 2018 Santa Fe shooting purchased 50 rounds of handgun ammo &140 rounds of shotgun ammo online from @LuckyGunner (despite being underage)

Paid for it w/ @AmericanExpress gift card. @FedEx delivered ammunition w/ no signature

buzzfeednews.com/article/amberj…
@LuckyGunner @AmericanExpress @FedEx 2/ Note that this isn't the first time ammunition from @LuckyGunner has been used in a mass shooting. In 2012: a man purchased 4,000 rounds of ammunition from @LuckyGunner & shot and killed 12 people.
@LuckyGunner @AmericanExpress @FedEx 3/ The companies involved in this story -@LuckyGunner, @AmericanExpress, @FedEx- must reform their policies so under-age individual can't illegally purchase ammunition on their site, pay for it using a gift card, and get it delivered straight to their door no questions asked.
@LuckyGunner @AmericanExpress @FedEx 4/ Mass shooters *frequently* use credit cards to purchase large quantities of firearms & ammunition over a short period of time for their mass shootings. (7 of the 10 deadliest shootings in recent years followed this familiar pattern).
@LuckyGunner @AmericanExpress @FedEx 5/ The financial industry has an absolute obligation to flag these suspicious purchases and that's a key ask in our IsYourBankLoaded.org campaign.

1/ Gun makers are softening their image to “put a better face in front of people" & "ramp up its appeal to women, children and members of minority groups"

That's right: gun makers are increasingly advertising to WOMEN, CHILDREN & MINORITY COMMUNITIES

2/ Firearm industry realizes that to survive into the future it must "broaden its reach beyond the aging white men who have been its core customers" -- and so they're now trying to sell their products to other demographics.

This is incredibly dangerous.
3/ We are already a country awash in firearms (there are more firearms than people in the United States) & the industry is *actively circumventing existing laws* to bring banned dangerous weapons to market & make firearms of ever increasing lethality

.@jokermovie has 11 #OscarNoms

Since @WarnerBros is profiting from fictional films w/ gun violence, it should do everything in its power to make it harder for people to carry out violence in the real world

@WarnerBros must end political donations to @NRA backed candidates
@jokermovie @warnerbros @NRA In September, we launched a campaign arguing that during a period of federal inaction, @WarnerBros has a responsibility to keep its audiences safe from gun violence.

This came as authorities were warning the public about potential acts of gun violence at @jokermovie screenings
@jokermovie @warnerbros @NRA .@jokermovie was coming out all over the world, but only in US were we seeing threats of gun violence

Why? Because only in US are guns so readily available and easy to get.

@WarnerBros responded to a letter from @MamaRedfield outlining its responsibility to act by agreeing...

1. On Tuesday 2 men, possibly motivated by anti-Semitism, opened fire in Jersey City, killing 4.

The incident is part of a growing tide of hate crimes against Jews

(NYPD received 200 anti-Semitic hate crime complaints in 2019, up almost 1/3 from the same period in 2018)
2. We don't know if there's a direct connection here, but what's troubling is that this shooting happened just two days after Trump peddled anti-Semitic stereotypes during a speech, portraying Jews as money-grubbing types who care only about their wealth nytimes.com/2019/12/09/opi…
3. The U.S. Jewish community experienced near-historic levels of anti-Semitism in 2018, including a doubling of anti-Semitic assaults and the single deadliest attack against the Jewish community in American history: adl.org/news/press-rel…

In August 1947, British rule over the Indian Subcontinent, that had lasted for more than three centuries, had come to an end. Two new dominions, the Union of India and the Dominion of Pakistan, legally came into existence at midnight on 14-15 August 1947.
Both nations were born in the bloodshed that came out of communal violence between the two main religious communities in India, the Hindus and the Muslims. Violence that had taken the lives of more than 2 million innocents and displaced more than 14 million.
To understand why there was violence in the first place, let’s go back a little. The two communities had an uneasy existence with each other for nearly 800 years. Though in many places Hindus and Muslims were almost inseparable, in some places there were hostilities.

Didn't realize when I shared Time Magazine's 25 Most Influential People on the Internet piece that Q had posted it on the boards! While all the articles paint Q as a "conspiracy", what the writers don't realize is they are helping red-pill MORE people!

2. The Wray/Rosenstein hearing has been frustrating so far. They took a recess to vote on a resolution demanding DOJ & FBI turn over docs related to investigations of HRC & Trump's campaign by July 6. The vote passed in the House.

3. Been saying this for a while. Hollywood, social media, academia, etc. are trying to normalize pedophilia because the guilty (and there are MANY in high places in DC, H-wood, etc.) know the truth is about to be revealed. It just shows how stupid & sick these people really are.
