Here is a (partial) list of when an AR-15-style weapon was used in a mass shooting:
- Las Vegas, 58 dead
- Pulse nightclub, 49 dead
- Sandy Hook, 27 dead
- Sutherland Springs, 26 dead
- Uvalde, 21 dead
- Stoneman Douglas High, 17 dead.
This is what you're promoting.
The #SecondAmendment is as American a right as freedom of speech, religion, & the press.
Today I unveiled my bill to make the AR-15 the National Gun of America. We must send a message that we will meet every attack on any of our constitutional rights.

Kevin de Leon has to go. He MUST resign.
UPDATE: It looks like Kevin de Leon has deployed a group of men to intimidate @blmla and the other groups engaging in the encampment outside his home. Men that apparently share his same feelings about The Blacks. They said they’re there to support KDL. This is for real y’all.

This morning it was reported that Iran is transferring ballistic missiles to Russia. There is no longer any doubt where Israel should stand in this bloody conflict. The time has come for Ukraine to receive military aid as well, just as the USA and NATO countries provide.

Raphael Warnock called out Herschel Walker for lying about being a cop at their debate, and the crowd cheered. Then, Walker pulled out an ‘honorary police badge’ to prove he was a cop — but was asked to put the badge away. Records show Walker never held a job in law enforcement:

If any moment in tonight’s GA senate debate has a lasting effect on the race, it will be Walker defending GOP opposition to legislation capping insulin costs and seeming to tell diabetics they need to “eat right.” Suspect we’ll see Medicare/drug price ads pronto from Warnock.

Warnock is rebutting Walker's opening statement with a debating trick called "complete sentences." #GASenDebate

BREAKING NEWS: A new national poll finds that a whopping 57% of Americans think that the investigations into Trump’s crimes MUST continue. RT IF YOU’RE A PART OF THAT 57%!

We can’t keep normalizing horror. It’s time to fight back against the extreme right and stand with the majority of Americans who support gun safety reform.
Sign our letter to Greg Abbott demanding he take action — or face the consequences come November. secure.everyaction.com/Zk_24…

Things that’ve magically disappeared
- White House call logs for 187 mins on Jan 6
- Jan 6 texts for 24 Secret Service agents
- Jan 6 texts for Trump’s 2 highest Homeland Security officials
- Meadows’ docs which he burned

Cheney's closing is stunning: they think they have evidence of witness tampering and obstruction of justice.
There is an old maxim: it's never the crime, it's always the coverup.
Things went very badly for the former President today. My guess is that it will get worse from here

I guess “settled law” must have a different meaning during one’s confirmation hearings.

Paul Manafort, Putin’s man in Kiev and DC, was stopped at the airport, fleeing to Dubai—safe space for all oligarchs—and his passport revoked.

Barbaric Russian missile strikes on the central Freedom Square and residential districts of Kharkiv. Putin is unable to break Ukraine down. He commits more war crimes out of fury, murders innocent civilians. The world can and must do more. INCREASE PRESSURE, ISOLATE RUSSIA FULLY!

The Capitol wasn’t prepared for Jan 6th, and should have been. But blaming the security posture for the violence is like blaming a home invasion on the owner for not having a proper security system.

"There's so much exciting work being done out there. And I think it's important that publishers look for those plays so that we can expand the canon."
