Brazil has firearm registration, a minimum age of 25 to own a gun, and virtually no concealed carry for the average citizen, since self-defense is not seen as a valid reason to possess a gun license in the first place. nitter.gq/conradhackett/status/9…

Jamaica’s gun laws, some of the world’s strictest, are based on Socialist PM Michael Manley’s, “There is no place in this society for the gun, now or ever.” The USA has a murder rate of 5 per 100,000 residents Jamaica’s rate? 60 per 100,000 residents

Forget the gun argument for a second. I've spent the last decade hearing how everything conservatives do is motivated by racism or sexism or homophobia and he has the gall to say this about conservatism? What country does he live in?

If schoolkids spent one day learning about guns and gun laws rather than walking out of school, they'd know more than 99% of journalists.

It's gonna be super awk when this kid is the only one to affect true change. The kids at my local school couldn't even spell "enact" correctly on their walkout poster, and this kid is actually lobbying for legislation. nitter.gq/KyleKashuv/status/9739…
Great meeting with Senator @LindseyGrahamSC. He's a strong #2A supporter and won't let or #Constitutional rights be infringed. The Senator is calling @SenateMajLdr to hopefully agree to speak with me via the phone to help push #StopSchoolViolenceAct on the omnibus.

If guns are making kids flee public schools we should be giving them out like Tic Tacs

Am I being selfish in trying to draw attention to the fact that the most powerful social media and publishing site in the world has banned a federal senate candidate for 30 days, while their COO donates to his opponent? Shouldn't this be a bigger deal? #Facebook – at Kansas City, MO

He focused on her stupidity. That's perhaps mean/rude. You focused on her race. That's...well, you know. nitter.gq/jonfavs/status/9726358…

OK, I'll say it: if you give even five seconds' thought to the fact that someone else -- who knows you not at all and owes you nothing -- has more than you do, you are a loser and will remain one. nitter.gq/KanielaIng/status/9697…
At what point is someone’s wealth acquisition too much—$1b, $10b, $100b, $1t? Mark my words: this moral question will be very, very important in coming years. We need leaders who are brave enough to ask it.

“I’m against AR15s but I’m ok with 2nd amendment relax.” No you aren’t. There is no argument why an AR15 should be banned. None. You just want people to like you and you don’t actually believe in anything.

Speed limits generally bunch up traffic, cause inattentive driving, and punish good drivers far more than poor drivers. No positive impact at all on the accident or death rate, according to all the research I’ve seen. He doesn’t realize what he’s said here. nitter.gq/mitchellvii/status/969…

When you find out murder rates and gun ownership have no statistically significant positive correlation.

720 seconds. That’s how long it took to hit our goal of 10,000 deposits. We’re now at 25,000 and counting. Thank you, Seattle. #NHLSeattle
