How F’ked Up is it that every schmuck with a grudge can accumulate enough fire power to wreak havoc? #VirginiaBeach

Numerous states have draconian laws that regulate women’s bodies but somehow sensible gun control is SUPER hard to implement. Realize that they aren’t really pro-life at all.
Saddened to hear of yet ANOTHER mass shooting. Eleven dead, six injured this time in #VirginiaBeach#SMH— yvette nicole brown (@YNB) June 1, 2019

Jane and I are grieving for the victims in Virginia Beach and their families.
The days of the NRA controlling Congress and writing our gun laws must end. Congress must listen to the American people and pass gun safety legislation. This sickening gun violence must stop. https://t.co/iSAtYWg7HH— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) May 31, 2019
