1/15 The link between Inequality and Gun Violence:
🧵 There's a complex web of factors that contribute to gun violence, but two elements that demand our attention are high inequality and permissive gun laws. Let's take a deep dive into how these factors intersect.

2/15 It's important to start with understanding the correlation between inequality and violence.
When socio-economic disparities widen, frustrations increase. This can result in heightened tensions and often leads to more violence. #IncomeInequality #Violence

3/15 Studies show that societies with larger income gaps tend to have higher rates of violence.
This is particularly true for the US, where inequality has grown considerably over the past few decades. #IncomeInequality

Some tips when you get faced with the "TeLl mE WHaT AR sTaNdS FOr" question when you say you want #assultweapons banned, #VoteBlue people.
First, that question. "AR" stands for ArmaLite Rifle & ArmaLite is the company who patterned the #AR15 and originally based in Hollywood, CA in the 1950s. It went bankrupt in the 1980s, and was revived in the mid 1990s.
The part that contains the bullets in the AR-15 is properly known as a magazine or "mag." That being said, it is known in laymen as a "clip," but a clip is entirely different.
Uvalde spent 40% of their city budget on police, who were lobbying for even more, and when thrust into a situation they were SPECIFICALLY trained and armed for, in a school they had SPECIFICALLY prepared for a shooter scenario, they "contained" the shooter in a classroom for an…
…hour where he massacred almost 20 kids while they did NOTHING. They waited for a school employee to unlock the classroom door for them before they even attempted to neutralize the shooter. The cops made sure their OWN children were safe and then RETREATED BACK TO SAFETY.
We need to talk about the bastardization of the 2A by the #GOP, the NRA, & the captured Supreme Court.
The INDIVIDUAL right to own a gun was NOT given by the Founding Fathers.

While the @NRA is being investigated for funneling money from Russia in 2016, GOP politicians are offering #ThoughtsAndPrayers to kids returning to school in August.

In today’s WTF news: Guns Do Kill People.
Not one piece of gun legislation has been introduced by the GOP since Columbine.
A tax exempt lobbyist org is lining GOP politician’s pockets to look the other way while our nation’s children are being slaughtered.

Woke up to tragic news of another shooting in the US. The shooter left an AR-15 at the scene, 4 dead.
How many more will die before #GunReform is passed? These WMD are way too easy to obtain.
The time for #ThoughtsandPrayers is over.

2/It’s NOT fallacy: our peer counties that’ve enacted #GunLaws do NOT have shootings like the US.
Military grade weapons do not belong in the hands of civilians. A shooting occurs in this country on average every 60 hours.
This is an Epidemic.

Another school shooting in the US today. It’s tragic, it’s horrible & escalating in our gun culture.

Statistically, in the US a shooting incident takes place every 60 hours. We are down to hours in between shootings. Not days, weeks, months or years. It’s HOURS.
Every day in the US, 96 people die from gun violence & 222 people are shot but survive.

Australia, had 4 mass shootings between 1987–1996. After 1996, It took Parliament just 12 days to pass stricter gun laws. They haven’t had a mass shooting since. It’s been 34 days since Parkland.
The US needs to follow their lead.
Here’s how they did it
