    Lawmaker who voted against requiring background checks on unlicensed gun sales tells law enforcement expert who has served as police chief in both Austin and Houston how to solve gun violence... 🙄

    Chief, it isn’t the gun it is the shooter. Let’s focus on mental health, background checks and information sharing that can save lives.

    Dear we see you’ve been signing a lot of fabulous bills into CA law, please add to that list! It’s common sense to require concealed carry permit applicants to have training on the actual weapon they want to carry! Much thanks, CA members!

    At least 11 dead. You’d think the President would have more up-to-date information than I do just by using Google:

    Five deaths have been recorded thus far with regard to hurricane Florence! Deepest sympathies and warmth go out to the families and friends of the victims. May God be with them!
