Congress has sent us their thoughts and prayers for four years since March For Our Lives happened. In that time over 150,000 Americans have died. Today @AMarch4OurLives shows Congress the cost- by spelling out thoughts and prayers and body bags on the national mall https://t.co/NTdnnle56r — PolitiTweet.org

There’s been a lot of politicians who have sent their thoughts and prayers in the four years since the March For Our Lives. Thoughts and prayers without action is deadly. Fuck those politicians. Tomorrow we’re going to make some good trouble in DC :) — PolitiTweet.org

Eventually, once these laws make it through the courts and culture changes we bring this fight to the federal government and have them pass these laws at the national level. — PolitiTweet.org

No law stops every shooting. That's not what I am claiming. We are looking to considerably reduce gun violence and we can. In a matter that has been proven and constitutional in MA. If we did we could save +25,000 lives a year https://t.co/AlIyvcl6Ap — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

I can not emphasize how simply having a tough-on-crime approach to this will not work. We have the highest prison population in the world if just arresting people worked we wouldn't have near as much gun violence. We need a holistic approach to this issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Plus it costs a LOT less to flip a state than it does congress. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

SOL with the fed gov what do we do? Go to the states and pass what the same laws as Mass has in every state we can. These laws are far from perfect but are far better than what we have right now. Tweak the laws state by state to see what works and can make it through the courts. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Fillibuster stops us from passing laws at the fed lev for now so what do we do? -Get things like violence prevention prog and gv research funded via reconciliation -Nominate directors like ATF and enforce fed gun laws -Pass as many exec orders as possible to reduce gv — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Model the new laws and practices on states like Massachusetts that have the lowest gun death rates in the country. Plus their gun laws & gun violence prevention practices have been proven constitutional and have worked. https://t.co/0znXeFi46S — PolitiTweet.org

4. Hold the industry accountable: There needs to be a major financial disincentive to these gun companies to make sure their guns do not get into the wrong hands. There is no reason they should make billions as victims can't even afford a funeral. Repeal PLCAA — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

3. Enforce existing laws better: Make sure the laws we do have are being enforced at the state and federal level and that there are people like an actual director leading groups like ATF. Make it so the records are easier to use to fight trafficking and bad dealers. And so on. — PolitiTweet.org

Hate is not a mental illness, stop trying to use it as a scapegoat for white supremacist terrorism. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

2. Address factors that make someone pick up a gun like lack of opportunity, systemic racism, poverty, mental health like PTSD and suicide, fear for one's safety, hate that drives someone like the nazi who shot up my school to pick up a gun. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

What do I mean by the above? We need to address four things: 1. Change gun laws to raise the standard of ownership- add licensing and insurance, qualifications, one gun per month, who can not buy, when guns can be taken away through due process if they threaten to harm someone? — PolitiTweet.org

Thread: Here's an oversimplified version of how we significantly reduce gun deaths in the United States: We need to address Four things: 1. How someone gets a gun 2. Why someone feels the need to pick up a gun 4. Enforce existing laws better 4. Hold the industry accountable — PolitiTweet.org

In 2018 young people turned out at a record rate for a non presidential midterm at 31%- not great but way higher than anytime in the past 25 years. We can beat that in 2022. Start here: https://t.co/o3bAxYplUC — PolitiTweet.org
