Let's look at some facts @SenatorBennet @RepJasonCrow

Months ago, a STEM parent reached out to @dcsdk12 expressing specific concerns but instead of taking it seriously, DougCo School Board sued the parent.

Last night, @momsdemand and @bradybuzz schemed to turn a vigil into an opportunity to grand stand on gun control and invited you two to speak. You both used it as an opportunity to use children to campaign for politics.

Shame on both of you!
You and your @momsdemand chaperone all talked about the need for more gun control

Colorado already has
- magazine limits
- universal background checks
- red flag law
- 21 age limit on handguns
- illegal to murder
- illegal to attempt murder
- illegal to take guns to school

Ivanka Trump canceled a trip to Colorado, while President Trump—who gave another big speech at the NRA annual convention less than 2 weeks ago—has said nothing publicly yet about America's latest deadly school shooting denverpost.com/2019/05/07/iva… #STEMshooting
Trump has had a lot to say publicly since yesterday's school shooting in Colorado, just nothing about the school shooting in Colorado politico.com/story/2019/05/…
Although Trump apparently has zero to say about the deadly Colorado school shooting, he's tweeting enthusiastically this morning about casino policies and how he manipulated the federal tax system for "sport" in the 1980s and '90s

I'm sad this morning for the family of the young person who died, the families and others who were wounded and the entire community who was traumatized by yesterday's #StemShooting.
Another horrific, senseless act of violence. #copolitics #coleg
My fellow Americans who reside on the "left" side of the spectrum believe that designating schools as "gun free zones" and enacting ever more restrictive legislation on firearms will make our public spaces safer. Kudos to them for their good intentions. #copolitics #StemShooting
I favor an evidence-based approach, and the evidence CLEARLY shows that this strategy does not work. No gun laws on the books prevented yesterday's killers from getting guns. No artificial designation prevented them from carrying them into the school. #copolitics #StemShooting

Something struck me in this moment. Standing outside STEM School Highlands Ranch - these students were waiting for buses to pick them up and take them to a rec center where they’d be reunited with their families after the #STEMShooting. I started watching the teachers.
Some of them were holding binders that said “STEM School Emergency Plan”. They’ve practiced this before. They’ve reviewed the manuals. They’ve probably thought about this moment and prayed it would never happen to them.
But it did. Two shooters entered their school. They were locked down. They were probably terrified in that moment. But they remained calm. The police helped them evacuate. They watched as their young students walked out of the school with their hands up.

We send strength & support to the state of Colorado & the Highlands Ranch community after today’s #StemShooting.

Nobody should experience this type of fear, not on our streets or in our schools.

We must work together to put an end to #GenerationLockdown.
DO NOT TUNE THIS STORY OUT
DO NOT GROW NUMB TO THIS
WE MUST END GUN VIOLENCE
WE MUST SAVE LIVES
WE MUST ACT NOW
#StemShooting
Our leaders are quick to write these horrors off as “the price of freedom.”

A price too often paid by the lives of America’s children.

The @senatemajldr & @POTUS must address the growing epidemic that is gun violence. #StemShooting

There was a shooting at my son’s school today. He’s safe, but... I’m sitting in a gym with hundreds of parents waiting to see their kids. This is the third time I’ve had to pick up my boys from school due to a lockdown. #stemshooting
The police are doing an great job of getting our kids to us. They’re bussing the kids over by grade. Started with the kinders, and have since called out 1st and 2nd grade parents. My kid is in 6th. #stemshooting
One of the police put his hand on my shoulder and asked how I was doing and asked about my son. The gym is starting to clear out somewhat as parents are called out to pick up their kids. #stemshooting
