Moments before the Senate voted to pass our historic gun safety bill, I got to see two of my heroes - Mark Barden and Nicole Hockley, who both lost kids in the Sandy Hook shooting. I was so glad they were there to see that moment. (note the @CoryBooker photo bomb) https://t.co/ab3cIMdPkq — PolitiTweet.org

There is no public policy more popular - or more of a clear contrast between Democrats and Republicans - than Medicare drug negotiation. https://t.co/SFy6puM8Ud — PolitiTweet.org

A reporter posted on Facebook “If you send me your address, I will mail you abortion pills.” Within a minute, Facebook took down the post. Then she switched the words “abortion pills” with “a gun”. Facebook did nothing. The message stayed up. No joke. https://t.co/PLahWuIIQq — PolitiTweet.org

8/ Of course no one can be sure that this tragedy would have been prevented by our bill. But it’s not true to say that nothing in this bill could have prevented Uvalde. In fact, there are many ways that the law could have stopped this massacre before it happened. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
7/ Finally, our bill invests $15 billion in mental health and school safety. Maybe a new local health center could have served Ramos in his time of need. Maybe his school would have been able to afford counselors who could have identified his warning signs. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
6/ Texas doesn’t have a red flag law, but our bill provides money to help states adopt them. If Texas had a red flag law, Ramos would have been a prime candidate to have his firearms taken away. And that mandated call to local police could have set that process in motion. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
5/ Or maybe the wait would have allowed his moment of crisis to pass. Or maybe if the gun store had told Ramos that as a condition of buying these guns, a call was going to be made to the local police department, it might have scared him straight. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
4/ They would have had time to intervene bc the new law creates a de facto waiting period, of anywhere from 3-10 days, before an 18-20 yr old can buy a gun. Also, the waiting period could have prevented Ramos from getting the guns at all before the last day of school. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
3/ The police likely knew Ramos was dangerous. That call would have given them key information that a kid in crisis was rushing out to buy guns the minute he turned 18. The police could have taken steps to intervene. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
2/ Most importantly, the bill requires that no gun can be sold to an 18 year old without a call being placed by the FBI to the local police to check on the status of the buyer. Reporting suggests Ramos was known to the local police - they had been to his house multiple times. — PolitiTweet.org
Chris Murphy @ChrisMurphyCT
I’ve read a few articles on the gun safety bill that suggest there isn’t anything in it that could have prevented the Uvalde shooting. That’s wrong. Of course we can’t know for certain, but there are several provisions that could have stopped that massacre. 1/ Let me explain: — PolitiTweet.org

Connecticut is a better place because of Denise Merrill’s service. She was a national leader on election security and deftly managed an historic election in the middle of a pandemic. We won’t have another Secretary of State like her. https://t.co/8xAM9QNNTl — PolitiTweet.org

I’m not excusing what they did. My point is that no one should pretend that back then, they didn’t understand the Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney Barrett nominations were 110% designed to overturn Roe. We knew they weren’t telling the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Fine, these justices said things that were untrue during their confirmations. But c'mon. EVERYONE knew the game. Trump promised to overturn Roe, he outsourced judge selection to the group founded to overturn Roe. No one can claim to be shocked by what has happened. — PolitiTweet.org
