Thank you, ⁦@JamaalBowmanNY⁩. “Question them. Force them to respond to the question, ‘Why the hell don’t you do anything to save America’s children?’ And let them explain that all the way up until 2024.”” https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3924968-watch-lawmakers-get-in-shouting-match-outside-house-floor-over-gun-control/

“If Republicans continue to have their way, we will eventually do no regulation. And we will be in violation of the Second Amendment as it is written. Somehow that never occurs to politicians.” https://www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithinthewind/thoughts-and-prayers-are-not-enough/article_55aa7aca-cd1c-11ed-b22d-d37cf4ffce94.html
