"There's fifty senetors right now who refuse to vote on HR-8, which is a background check rule that the house passed a couple of years ago, it's been sitting there for two years. And there is a reason they won't vote on it:
To hold onto power."

THIS 👏🏻IS 👏🏻NOT 👏🏻OK👏🏻
Children should not have to live like this!
Where are the parents protesting masks in school because it would traumatize their children? Is THIS not a trauma inducing practice?!

He’s running in the Republikkkan primary in the Texas Congressional district that represents Uvalde where the terrible school shooting took place.
That’s the military M16-203. Thirty round magazine can fire single, auto, or burst depending on the M16 or M4 variant used. The M203 grenade launcher underneath replaced the old M-79 grenade launcher from the Vietnam era that was fired from the shoulder without a rifle being attached. I had the experience of lugging this around briefly in another lifetime. There is no way any civilian should have this, even if it’s modified to single shot and the launcher is deactivated.

We’re forcing women to birth children in a country that cannot feed babies or protect children. Tell me again how this whole pro-life thing works?
