.@fedex and the @nra: when you absolutely, positively need to commit mass murder as fast as possible.

Let’s see, @Fedex...uses for AR-15s. Not hunting - would shred a bird, illegal cartridge for deer and up. Self defense? Barrel length gives away location. Slaughtering masses? Yup. It’s not being misused. It is being used for the reason military forces created it.

In the worst PR statement ever, @FedEx not only declared it will partner with anyone, no matter their beliefs (“I joined the Klan for fedex discounts”) but say things like AR-15s are being misused. Really? How, FedEx? Theyre slaughter guns. theyre being used for that quite well.

Explain the math: 38,000 deaths by guns a year. Average about 104 a day. Then 12 days since Parkland. 1,200 by averages.

About one-third of the number of people who died on 9/11 have been shot to death JUST since the Parkland slaughter. Al Qaeda, ISIS, NRA....the only difference is two of them don’t get discounts from @FedEx. Maybe.

Quick note: Following the averages, more than 1,000 people have been shot to death since the Parkland shooting. And conservatives have spent much of that time attacking the Parkland survivors who are saying the death must stop. Or calling them actors. #1000DeadSinceParkland

.@DonaldJTrumpJr likes tweets from lunatics suggesting Parkland survivors are being paid to speak out against guns. Sociopaths can’t imagine that seeing your classmates intestines splattered on the ground by an assault rifle makes you oppose them. Some conserves are despicable.

For those who didn't see other tweet - problem solved. Lots of pharmacists and doctors screaming at insurance company got action, then pharmacists got pills from each other.

Conserv lesson for children who survive mass shootings: "Shut the hell up, stop talking about surviving, let us say "guns dont kill", or "the world is Die Hard so arm teachers" or any other nonsense we can in hopes of making everyone forget. And if u speak, we WILL attack you."

Medication obtained. Lots of pharmacists and doctors yelling at insurance company. They finally caved.

...for those asking, we are trying every alternative. Neurologist will check for samples and my MD wife is standing in the drug store, refusing to leave until a solution is reached. (I cant drive, so I cant be there.)

Abject terror. Been having trouble getting my anticonvulsants. New insurance screwing w/ us. If I don't have it by tomorrow, I'm in the hospital. Have to buy without insurance. 5 days: $500. But drug store refused 2 order cause insurance didnt approve US heath system is awful.

3d try: I'm not saying Trump WOULD have gone in. I'm not saying this line of statement was appropriate. Im saying those criticizing for "saying he would save the day" are misrepresenting his words. There is SO MUCH to criticize him for - don't criticize for things he didnt say.

...he said it while discussing the cops who hid outside. while it was wrong 2 make it about himself, he did NOT say he would save the day. I dont know how I would react under pressure. But I hope I would run in 2 help. Thats not saying i would save the day. Its saying I'm human

People dont get my criticism of the criticism about Trump's supposed "save the day" Parlkland statement. He didn't say that. He said while he didnt know what he would do under pressure, he thought he would go in and that he thought everyone else where he was speaking would 2....

...bottom line: It was a dumb thing for Trump to say in terms of what he should be talking about. but it was NOT how it is being portrayed. There are lots of things to criticize trump over. Pushing reality beyond truth & then attacking it makes legitimate criticisms less credible

,,,by that i mean exactly as Trump put it - you don't know how you would actually react under pressure, but how do you think you would react? He was saying this in the context of the armed cops who basically hid outside.
