    Thank you @NRA for inviting me to speak at your annual conference this year! My experience with gun violence further underscored my beliefs → we need a strong 2nd Amendment so we can defend ourselves and our families from criminals and others who want to do us harm.pic.twitter.com/EKNPnzXgI1

        Pray tell, how did the 2nd do anything but enable this shooting? None of the 24 pro-2nd Republican congressmen were able to stop the shooter; only police could. The bad guy shooter was a domestic abuser but could still legally buy guns because he hadn’t been convicted.pic.twitter.com/fz5SCFAwx5

        There are always going to be evil people bent on doing evil. The 2nd Amendment helps us be able to protect ourselves and others from those evil people (Who ARE able to get guns illegally). You don't punish Law Abiding citizens because there are evil people out there.

        That’s not what happened here; police stopped the bad guy. Legal markets feed the illegal market. You’re no better off defending yourself with a gun and are far more likely to hurt someone else or yourself. Guns are not good for self-defense.

        You’re a lunatic if you believe that. According to the CDC, there are close to one million defensive gun uses per year. I am one of those statistics. Don’t try and sell me your anti gun 🐮 💩.

        Telling me you’ve defended yourself with a gun means nothing. The plural of anecdote is not evidence. And it’s not even clear what that uncited (thanks) 1 million means. But if you don’t like what I’m selling, I kindly invite you to piss off.https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/supplementary/defensive-gun-use.html …

        Funny how you take the position that guns are even more necessary after your experience. I suspect others take the position that common sense gun reform would mitigate your "need" to defend yourself using a gun. I have no problem with 2A, however there needs to be balance.

        And my point is if guns weren't so easily accessible, the shooter may not have had one and the entire situation could have been avoided. As I stated previously, there is more than one way to approach an issue.

        Guns are here. They’re accessible because they’re legal. Find another angle.

        Yes and they are accessible to some who would not pass the screening process. That is the problem. If a person breaking into a house finds an unsecured weapon, suddenly that person is armed, not legally, but still armed. It's not all or nothing. Lack of control is not the answer.

        It was also written at a time when single shot muskets were the weapon of choice. Don't you think that times have changed any and maybe some adjustments are warranted? If not, I'd like one of those things that shoots planes from the sky......

        Thank you NRA for corrupting already-corrupt politicians with untraceable money, making them loyal only to their dirty donors, and accumulating and keeping power.

        Yes it’s the NRAs fault that our election system allows big money to be donated to candidates 🙄 like saying parishioners that tithed to the Catholic Church were the cause of the molestation scandal. But yeah, you follow Adam Schiff...all I needed to know. Enjoying Trump? MAGA!

        It was the conservative judges who allowed the flood of dark money. Also, NRA is a nice cover for Russian money... (link: http://Russian.money )
