We need to listen to the Parkland survivors. These kids have ten times the courage of a lot of members of Congress.
The Parkland survivors need our thoughts and prayers because they’ve been through hell, but more than that, they deserve action and change.
I’m encouraged by the President’s call to strengthen existing background checks and ban bump-stocks. Whatever you think of the President, that’s a lot more than most politicians have been willing to say on the matter.
Unfortunately, this wouldn’t be the first time the President tweeted a good game but failed to deliver. The President needs to either lead or put down the phone.
Words need to be followed up with action, and those modest steps alone aren't an adequate response to this epidemic of gun violence.
The Parkland students are making a difference. The millions of Americans who refuse to accept 35,000+ gun deaths per year as normal are making a difference.
Just yesterday a new poll showed two-thirds of Americans wants stronger gun safety laws – the highest level ever recorded by Quinnipiac University since it started polling the issue after Sandy Hook. There’s no excuse for Congress not to act.
