    Last year, nearly 40,000 people were shot & killed with guns in the United States. That's the highest number ever recorded in 50 years of measurement. So don't tell me mass incarceration or the war on drugs made us safer. That's a lie @BretStephensNYThttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/us/gun-deaths.html …

        Heart breaking. My mom survived the Vegas shooting and used her shirt as a tourniquet on a former marine while they were running from gunfire. I will never forget the day his daughter started a GoFundMe page to cover medical expenses.

        That’s about the same number of those who die because they can’t afford health insurance. Quite a country

        Homicide has been trending down since the early 90's. Suicide, by multiple means, is rising. Conflating these into a a single issue is pointless.

        The #neocon agenda is global genocide and ethnic cleansing. It's their answer to global warming. @DemSocialists

        Still have not answered my question what do you think of folks who threw away their vote in 2016 should they complain now?

        A Drumbeat of Multiple Shootings, but America Isn’t Listening. Most shootings with four deaths or injuries are invisible outside their communities. And most of the lives they scar are black.https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/23/us/americas-overlooked-gun-violence.html …

        Many of those assaults were people that had Guns illegally. There is a problem in this Country, perpetual Hate isn’t the answer. Love is the only way this Country will move forward. Hate is a dead end.
