    Knee jerk? These mass shootings have been non stop for a decade!!! Data is abundant. This is what it looks like to be bought and paid for by the @NRAhttps://twitter.com/nbcnews/status/964329774696017921 …

    House Speaker Paul Ryan said Congress needs to “take a breath and collect the facts.” “We don’t just knee-jerk before we even have all the facts and the data,” Ryan said on WIBC Radio of Indianapolis. http://nbcnews.to/2sC7kJY

        Every time this happens I hope for someone influential to say "OK, well let's talk about that mass shooting two months ago instead for which we DO have all the facts and for which it certainly can't be said this is a knee jerk reaction"

        We all know that 30 mass shootings in the United States so far is not enough data. By the time we get to the end of the year and there are 120 of them then maybe we'll get close to having enough information. Maybe. Do I get NRA money now?

        I wonder how many people know that the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) is prohibited from investigating mass shootings simply due to the NRA’s stranglehold?

        For context: School shootings stopped after Australia banned firearms. School shootings stopped after the UK banned handguns. NZ, which has more liberal gun laws than either, has never had a school shooting, but started with more restrictive laws than Australia.

        @SpeakerRyan nor his GOP buddies gave a damn about data or facts a few weeks ago when they passed the GOP Tax bill w/o a CBO scores & w/o even reading it such that they need to revise the law. They can ban assault weapons just as fast.pic.twitter.com/ZnFKjRlfWZ

        High school students across America are planning a #NationalSchoolWalkout on March 14th, demanding Congress take action on #GunReformNow. 15 year old children are leading the way because 50 year old "adults" refuse to. RT to support our children and to fight for change! 🇺🇸

        Also mass shootings went way down during the assault weapons ban between 1994-2004.

        Paul Ryan cares so much, he threw a fundraising party. In Key Biscayne. 2 days after the Parkland shooting.
