1 in 5 U.S. adults say they’ve had a family member killed by a gun.
1 in 6 have witnessed a shooting.
1 in 5 have been personally threatened with a gun.
Hey MSM, Stop calling Mike Johnson 'charming', 'friendly', 'a nice guy', or 'personable' — he's extreme. He voted to overturn the 2020 election. He's a theocrat. He's dangerous AF.
If you can't spot a wolf in sheep's clothing, you're middle school level naive or feigning so — get the hell out of Journalism.
My daughter was walking to the King Soopers grocery in Boulder, CO as it was being shot up by a gunman. Her dad called her to make sure she knew it was going on. That call turned her around and she went home and locked down. She moved to #Maine a few years ago. I texted her now about the Lewiston, ME shooting happening. She didn’t know. She’s 20 mins from #Lewiston - not close, but not far enough for me.
This problem is unique because places like #Canada, #Serbia, #Slovakia, #Switzerland and #Germany have a higher density of weapons yet don't even come close adjusted per capita.
Rep. Paul Gosar urged a fight to the finish. “The FBI raid on Trump’s home tells us one thing,” the far-right Arizona congressman tweeted. “Failure is not an option. We must destroy the FBI.”

Also with the Machine Gun Registry closed for longer than I live, there are no new "Assault Weapons" and the few select-fire guns are already so expensive for decades, I've yet to see a single case of a school shooter even obtaining one.
In a sane country, we wouldn’t allow AR-15s in the hands of anyone, let alone a white supremacist with a history of mental issues. And we wouldn’t have to lock down whole school campuses and have students crawl out of windows to save themselves from an active shooter. Other countries have passed laws to prevent this madness. Yet, we allow it regularly to happen.
Germany has ~15M legally owned (official statistics) and at least 16,7M (known discrepancy of pre-1972 sales and amnesty registrations) but most likely > 40M illegally owned guns (estimates w/ inventory losses, smuggling and DIY since 1871). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No7BTPf52NM
The hordes of journalists "covering" tonight's Republican joint press conference are only the latest evidence that Big Journalism relentlessly wastes valuable resources on made-for-TV infotainment.
Just imagine all the actual journalism those people could be doing if they weren't wasting time and money in Milwaukee.
Das Bundesamt für #Verfassungsschutz wird sich vorläufig nicht mehr über die Wahl der Kandidaten der sogenannten #AfD zur #Europawahl äußern und verpflichtete sich laut einer an das #Verwaltungsgericht Köln adressierten Stillhaltezusage zu schweigen - bis Sonntag, 23:59 Uhr.
Die AfD hatte ein Eilverfahren angeleiert.
Ist aber wurscht, den völkisch-nationalistischen, profaschistischen, rassistischen Charakter der Partei erkennt man auch ohne BfV.
Jeder sieht das.
