In the past few weeks, we've had three outrageous tragedies that have really shaken America to its core: a sidewalk defacement in Maine, a house protest in Maryland, and now a press conference interruption in Texas. We can't go on like this.

If cops could react to a dangerous situation as quickly as they react to Beto O’Rourke hurting their feelings a bunch of kids might’ve made it home. https://twitter.com/jessicawluther/status/1529549427303661572

Awful lot of ‘good guys with guns’ not using their guns to be good guys.

As we listen to the debate tonight, the alternatives become very clear:

Either we can have gunmen roaming free and the children locked up like jailed felons ...

Or we can impose some restrictions on the guns and let the children enjoy the air and sun

Your values. Your choice.

The people most upset about Beto’s manners were totally fine when it was parents screaming at school board members last summer

next time the cops won’t charge into a school with an active shooter tell them you saw a black guy driving a bmw in there.

The cops got Beto out of there about 100x faster than they got the shooter out of the elementary school https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1529521455905460224

I don't think anyone can know what they'd do in this situation, but I do note that police in this country are given obscene funding and a lavishly generous benefit of the doubt based on a promoted image that they will if not be heroes, at least be competent in emergencies. https://twitter.com/AndySpecht/status/1529643462953521153

JFC. Police in Uvalde reportedly stood outside for 45+ min as the shooting took place — ignoring parents & bystanders pleading with them to go inside.

One parent even urged others in the crowd: “Let’s just rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything…”https://apnews.com/article/uvalde-texas-school-shooting-44a7cfb990feaa6ffe482483df6e4683

I forget who first made this comment but I love it - anyone who thinks teachers should be armed hasn’t seen me try to open a PowerPoint at the start of class.

Apparently the thin blue line is just some guys cowering outside while a teenager murders children.

People who value gun rights should be the ones MOST interested, not LEAST interested, in stopping those rights from being misused.

PLCAA — the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act of 2005 — provides unique protection for the gun industry from civil liability arising from its products.

*None* of it is required by the Second Amendment, even under Heller.

Maybe today’s a good day to discuss repealing it.

Good to see the crypto ideals of decentralization and power to the people finding purchase. Sorry, being purchased. https://twitter.com/silvermanjacob/status/1529422312763686913

For 30 years, this country has spent tens of billions of dollars putting cops in schools, and they reliably run away from mass shooters.

If Ben Shapiro cared one ounce about reducing the odds of gun massacres he would use his considerable influence as one of the most widely read/listened to conservatives in the country to urge Republican politicians to pass laws that would, in his view, address the problem. https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1529448677374312448

Texas: let’s force people to birth children, then watch them be brutally murdered with legally purchased guns. #ProLifeMyAss is a trending hashtag for good reason.

From the Washington Post: "Two Uvalde police officers and a school resource officer fired at the shooter, but it did not stop him from entering the building."

There were armed people at the scene. It didn’t stop him. https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1529251122661179397

Teachers, whose unions are communist and who cannot be trusted to refrain from grooming our children to lives of sexual debauchery and hatred of America and white people, should be better armedhttps://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1529224340071297025?s=20&t=Ua55EcgS88F219RbZKSnIA

Another “pro-lifer” who makes it clear that “pro-life” has nothing to do with protecting life. https://twitter.com/ewerickson/status/1529408337418375173
