In order to become a hair stylist in the US, the candidate must attend a training course, take written and practical exams, pay a license fee and renew that license every few years, and take continuing ed classes. /1
To buy a gun in many US states, all the purchaser needs is cash. Not every state requires a permit, though they do require a background check IF the gun is purchased from a dealer. Online sales and gun shows DO NOT require a background check. /2
Only 7 states require safety training in order to own a gun: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, Washington, California, and Hawaii. /3
Think about that. Every hairstylist in the country is trained and licensed to cut hair. Not every gun owner in the country actually knows *how* to safely use and store a gun. /4
We care more about our hair than the safety of our citizens.
Why?
The #NRA pays #Republicans to not care about gun safety. Call your Congresspeople NOW! /5
Don't wait for another mass shooting to call your representatives in Congress or your state legislature. The next shooting could be in your own neighborhood. /8
Here's just a small list of who #Republicans are putting on the ballot across the country:
Eric Greitens, Senator. Ex-governor of Missouri. He resigned after sexual misconduct and campaign finance allegations. His ex-wife filed claims of emotional and physical abuse. /1
Charles W. Herbster, Governor of Nebraska. Trump endorsed, accused of sexual assault. He lost his primary. /2
Herschel Walker, Senator, Georgia. Walker has numerous claims against him of domestic violence, including holding a gun to his ex-wife's head. Trump endorsed. /3

We all remember the big things Trump did to destroy democracy: refuse to release his taxes, lie to his accountant and banks, destroy documents, etc. Let's take a trip down memory lane and discuss a few of the disgraceful and disgusting elements of the 45 admin. 1/
❌ Almost doubled the cost of naturalization from $640 to $1160 to keep "undesirables" from becoming citizens.
❌ Asked FBI Director James Comey to make the Mike Flynn case go away. 2/
❌ When credible evidence showed that Vladimir Putin arranged the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, Trump refused to condemn Putin.
❌ Attacked his perceived enemies with DOJ lawsuits that failed-NYT, CNN, AT&T, Washington Post. 3/ bbc.com/news/world-us-…
This graphic is a joke.
❌"control" is spelled w/ 1 n.
❌ Do #Democrats believe in Liberalism, Communism, or Socialism? Which is it?
❌ The horror of letting people vote!
❌ Increase taxes on the wealthy 1/
❌ Why is the military weak? Is it because anyone who wants to join can?
❌ Sure, #Republicans want babies to be born. Then they and their families are on their own.
❌ Tax breaks for the wealthy only.
❌ Gun rights over human rights every time for the #GOP. 2/
❌ Free speech-is that why Trump called the press the "enemy of the people?"
❌ Humping a flag at a convention or putting a flag sticker on your car does not a patriot make.
❌Constitution - Trump constantly went against it. I guarantee he never read it. 3/
