Guns are now the leading cause of death among children in the United States of America. Not car crashes. Not cancer.
It’s guns.
And Republicans? Cowards.
[Gavin Newsom's tweet reading 'Coward.' in response to a tweet from a reporter reading 'Speaker McCarthy continues to refuse to answer questions about Nashville shooting or whether there should be any legislative response. Says he’s not answering any questions. Posed for photos with tourists, then went into his office']
Complicit.
[Gavin Newsom's tweet reading 'You received $1,306,130 in donations from the NRA. You voted against the most recent bipartisan gun package in June. If you’re so “ready to assist” -- start by doing your job and passing commonsense gun laws that will help prevent tragedies like the one today.' in response to a tweet from Senator Marsha Blackburn]
The United States is the only developed country in the world where this happens. We know how to fix it.
California has some of the strongest gun laws in the country and some of the lowest per-capita firearm fatality rates.
States like Texas, for example, with weaker gun laws, have higher per-capita death rates.
It’s not hard to see, folks.
The idea that we put up with this in America is ridiculous.

👉🏻 Hi. Please don’t click away just yet. 😡
If you are angry about the state of gun violence in America, there is something you can do about it. Please split a contribution between Gabby Giffords’ gun safety organization and Gavin Newsom’s committee. If everyone reading this donated, we’d have the resources to take on the NRA nationally and in California and we could save lives. If that sounds worth it, please split a donation between Giffords and our ballot measure committee today.
