If these reports are true - that police officers stood outside for 40 minutes, refusing to go in except to grab their own children - there should be absolute hell to pay.

I’ve always been pretty dark about our country’s future. But I spent time with
@davidhogg111
this week. Listened to him. Got to know him. Loved his passion. David gives me hope. This 22 yr old activist/leader gives me hope that America can pull thru our troubles & still thrive.

David, I’m on the “side” of not wanting kids killed. I know you are too. Yes, I’m a gun owner. And yes, I’m a big 2A defender. And yes, I think these mass shootings have to do with a hell of a lot more than guns. But yes, I’m open to discussing ANY solution. DM me to discuss.

Joe, you are on the side of the guns -- just stop trying to appeal to everyone while excepting no pushback on your BS.

Exact exchange 30 min ago:
Former supporter of mine: “Joe, so now you’re selling out on guns too?”
Me: “Fuck you. I’m a bigger 2A defender than you. I just want strengthened background checks so people who shouldn’t have guns don’t get them.”
Him: “Traitor.”
Me: “Fuck you.”

We’re just talking past each other. Set in our ways. Retreating to our corners. Guns. Mental health. Guns. Fatherless families. Guns. Arm the teachers. Guns. Moral breakdown. Guns. Isolated, bullied young men. Guns.
We’re just talking past each other.

A silver lining to the nightmare that was Trump was he woke up millions of Americans, especially young people, to the crisis facing our democracy. Thanks to

If
@davidhogg111
& I can sit down and find some common ground on guns, then Democrats & Republicans should be able to sit down as well.
Come on Republicans, it’s time to fucking sit down at that table. Your Republican voters overwhelmingly support universal background checks.

“I don’t give a fuck where u stand on any issue. I don’t give a fuck if u think Dems are too far left. Our very democracy is under attack. And for u to support the party attacking our democracy is fucking treasonous.”
Me, to every Republican yesterday who said I’m a traitor.

@BetoORourke
& I are not at all on the same page on the gun issue, but I got no problem at all with what he did today. Sometimes you have to step out of the box to wake people up. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I’ve done a lot of that myself.

@Sen_JoeManchin
tells me a bipartisan group is gathering on the floor tonight to talk about possibilities for bipartisan gun control legislation. Manchin is lead sponsor of bill to expand background checks. He was talking to Portman earlier. Romney also interested in his bill.

First off
@JohnLawMedia
, the Republican Party is no longer “my party.” I left the GOP over 2 yrs ago. 2nd,
@laurenboebert
is a dangerous nut, and the picture below is disgusting, but the vast majority of gun owners in this country are responsible folk who do not “worship guns.”
@WalshFreedom
A non starter? You and the rest of your gun-worshipping death cult of a party are killing the country, starting with its kids. Republicans are the "non starter" for any kind of change.

If you know my history, you know there are few people more outspoken than me in defense of the 2nd Amendment & gun rights.
And I say it's time to do better keeping guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them. Expand background checks. Expand red flag laws. It's time.
