Dem Rep Says What We're All Thinking About Cruz After He Rips Dems For 'Politicizing' Texas Shooting

There was a time in this country where we didn’t have armed cops at our schools.
There was a time when parents didn’t think about school shootings.
There was a time when kids didn’t have to learn to hide from gunmen

It was in the 1990’s we don’t have to live this way! https://t.co/injhRONI5b

Those elementary school kids had a right to attend school without being shot.

@tedcruz These children also had-HAD-heartbeats. What did you do to protect THEM? What do you say to their parents, grandparents when you choose GUN “rights” over human life?

Please just stop.. unless you are willing to break the filibuster to actually pass sensible gun control measures you might as well just say “thoughts and prayers” https://t.co/YA5Pp3dqao

Medicaid Expansion covers mental health care - Republicans vote against it.
ACA (Obamacare) covers mental healthcare - Republicans try to defund it.
Build Back Better had money for Mental Health- GOP votes no.

Starting to think GOP is not serious about mental health. 🤷🏽♂️ https://t.co/iaRpupLSpH

Had the Texas terrorist tried to buy a hand gun the sale would have been barred by federal law.

Why is an 18 year old allow to buy a weapon I used in war?

This ⬇️⬇️. The AR Variants are designed to kill as many people as possible.
It is a hunting rifle but to hunt men. Every piece of it is designed to hurt as many people as fast as possible.
At a minimum an 18 year olds should not be able to buy it. https://t.co/vIlpKqXPbl

To be clear there is a difference between using an AR variant it’s by far deadlier than a hand gun than your normal hunting rifle.

It has a higher rate of fire, the rounds are designed to maim humans and make survivability harder. A different weapon would have been better. https://t.co/u5WIDaEbaq

Everything about this weapon is designed to kill as many people as fast as possible. Even the forward hand grip and the “gun grip” is designed for you to keep your weapon on target as you fire.
