      1) We're telling American women "Run, hide, change your identity" instead of taking and keeping guns away from abusers.https://twitter.com/danaeking/status/864089986785845249 …

      2) Meanwhile, the @NRA has fought efforts to disarm abusers in state legislatures, Congress and all the way up to SCOTUS.

      3) Last week the @NRA opposed a bill to disarm abusers in Rhode Island because they say women lie about abuse:https://www.nraila.org/articles/20170508/rhode-island-house-judiciary-committee-preparing-for-gun-control-round-two …

      4) The federal definition of an abuser who can't have guns is very narrow: spouse and ex-spouse. Not dating partners of stalkers.

      5) But abusers can easily get around the federal law and get guns without a background check from private sellers at guns shows and online.

      6) @MomsDemand is going state by state to pass domestic gun violence bills to disarm abusers. So far we've passed new laws in 23 states.

      7) Most Governors agree with @MomsDemand, not the @NRA. The onus is on the government to keep guns away from abusers; not to arm victims.

      8) The @NRA says the solution to domestic abuse is (shocker) more guns, but abuse victims in homes with guns 5X more likely to be killed.

      9) Reminder: Lawmakers with a high rating from the @NRA support this dangerous agenda of allowing domestic abusers be armed.

      10) More than 50 women are shot and killed every month by intimate partners. Majority of mass shootings involve domestic violence.
