Calling all gun owners like my father who support new gun safety laws- I need your help. We need to show these Republican senators that gun owners are supporting action on gun safety and the NRA does not speak for them. Fill out this form I have an idea https://t.co/UwxVIP4i9L — PolitiTweet.org

If you are a gun owner who would like to help out to show these Republican senators that the only people who speak for gun owners are gun owners and not the gun lobby fill out this form- https://t.co/UwxVIP4i9L — PolitiTweet.org

But lets remember- mentally ill people are 2/3 of gun deaths that are suicides. Stigmatizing mental illness more by talking about it to avoid talking about the fact shooters like the one in Buffalo are white nationalists isn't going to help anyone. Hate is not a mental illness. — PolitiTweet.org

I just think we need to stop thinking we can only address the How someone gets a gun OR the why they pick it up. We can and should do both to reduce gun violence as quick as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Not everything we do to address gun violence needs to be a new gun law (though I think personally that's a critical part) we can also reduce gun violence through things that don't have to do with new laws like violence intervention programs and funding for suicide prevention — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Note - addressing the "why" of gun deaths doesn't require any new laws addressing how someone gets a gun. This is something republicans and dems across the country and on the hill should be able to work together on. Much of this could be passed via 50 vote reconciliation. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to address that 2/3 of gun deaths are suicides that skew heavily to older, white, men, in rural areas with easy access to guns by looking into how to fund mental health programs and how to combat isolation and rural poverty. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

For example one of the top predictors of where gun violence happens most is where communities were discriminated against by the federal government in a process known as "red lining" https://t.co/uRF2iGClVN — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

We need to address the fact that in many communities people do not feel safe and as a result feel the need for a gun, we need to address poor educational funding, lack of good paying and stable jobs, systemic racism that drives a large amount of that poverty, — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

I think you understand the "how" someone gets a gun- but you may be confused by the "why" what I mean by that is why does someone feel the need for a gun. Let me explain. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

You can disagree with me and I can respect that. What I can't accept is there is nothing we can do to save our kids. I put this out there just as my own opinion. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to take the same evidence based public health approach with guns as we did with cigarettes. We did that not only by addressing the industry but by also addressing the culture/why people wanted to smoke. Not just one- both. Note people still smoke and can get cigarettes. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re going to need a lot of gun owners to speak out and let these Republican senators know that they are supported. That the NRA speaks only for the NRA and not the majority of responsible, voting, gun owners. I may have some homework for you in a few days. — PolitiTweet.org
