Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "You are a member of Congress. Why are you “lending” guns to people unsupervised who can’t pass a basic background check? The people you’re giving a gun to have likely abused their spouse or have a violent criminal record, & you may not know it. Why on earth would you do that?… https://t.co/76jx4iLycP"

You are a member of Congress. Why are you “lending” guns to people unsupervised who can’t pass a basic background check? The people you’re giving a gun to have likely abused their spouse or have a violent criminal record, & you may not know it.

Situations like this story are why we protect the 2nd Amendment. Side note: With universal background checks, I wouldn’t be able to let my friends borrow my handgun when they travel alone like this. We would make felons out of people just for defending themselves. https://twitter.com/ABC13Miya/status/1168993652150026244 …

  We're running out of time to stop Trump's consolidation of power. We have to follow the example of Hong Kong, Puerto Rico, and many other countries by taking to the streets in numbers too large to ignore. Soon. pic.twitter.com/uq9QEMXIoG
