The mentally ill shooter in Uvalde bought and took possession of his first AR rifle on his 18th birthday last Monday, May 16th. On Tuesday, he bought over 300 rounds of .556 ammo, on Thursday the 18th, he purchased yet another AR. While this might have been his first 1/8
aggregated assault, the multiple purchases of ARs could have been immediately flagged and investigated by ATF. We should immediately raise the age of acquisition of AR platforms to 21yrs old. Ramos (Uvalde shooter -18 yrs old), Harris & Klebold 2/8

Let's talk about "national emergencies."
There are THOUSANDS of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in this country. Sisters, daughters, mothers, human beings that disappear without a trace. Where is the declaration over that crisis? #MMIW #MMIWG #MMIR
In a country determined to place nationalism at the forefront of domestic and foreign policy, we have a shocking number of homeless veterans. In states like Arizona, the number of #veteran suicides is 90.4 per 100,000. kdminer.com/news/2019/feb/…

1) Let me, a Broward schoolteacher near Marjory Stoneman Douglas, give a perspective on school shootings from the inside.
2) Once a year, my co-workers and I are birefed by a LEO on what to do if a gunman enters the school.

Inevitably, we listen to the stories of gun violence at similar schools.

They are either a pissed-off parent, the plainclothes cop you're expected to stop in a drill, or the man who'll orphan your children.

Decide.
