When government tells a victim of rape that she can't have an abortion, it's not just about control of her BODY. It's about control of her LIFE. And there are numerous other examples that underscore the egregious unjustness of Dobbs and the states enacting bans under it. — PolitiTweet.org

On #AxeFiles, @ChrisMurphyCT says recent "radical decisions" by SCOTUS could reshape '22 races. "There's this very clear signal that...Congress isn't in charge. The president isn't in charge. The Supreme Court is in charge. It's frightening folks." Pod👉https://t.co/TpU8bXVOlK https://t.co/JycITpLTQa — PolitiTweet.org

The Highland Park massacre was an unspeakable tragedy. But over the weekend just south of there in Chicago, 68 more people were shot and 8 killed over the holiday weekend. Mass shootings get massive coverage. But the scourge of gun violence claims 100 lives a day in America. — PolitiTweet.org

On #AxeFiles, @ChrisMurphyCT unloads on SCOTUS--"politicians masquerading as judges, imposing their poltical views on the nation." To counteract it, he says, the senate must finally adopt majoritarian rules and do away w/filibuster. Pod👉https://t.co/TpU8bXVOlK https://t.co/vBptbSSYFt — PolitiTweet.org

Despite the fact that his boy reportedly had theatened himself & others, the dad of the Highland Park shooter, who signed off on his son's gun permit, says he had no clue the boy was unstable. But just in case, dad's hired his own criminal defense lawyer. https://t.co/g3K5ThJVzY — PolitiTweet.org

Crimo Jr. sponsored Crimo III for a gun ID card just months after the boy attempted suicide, threatened the lives of others and had a cache of knives confiscated by police. The dad allowed a son he knew to be unstable to legally buy his murder weapon. — PolitiTweet.org

Because IL requires it for people under 21, the father of the Highland Parl shooter "sponsored" him for an IL gun owner's ID, which allowed his son to buy the assualt rifle he used in the July 4th massacre. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't generally respond to Tweets but this one warrants it. Assault weapons are BUILT to kill people. Cars are not. And when a car kills because of a deficiency in the vehicle, the manufacturers are liable. Gun manufacturers are not because Congress gave them an exemption! — PolitiTweet.org

@davidaxelrod @1drm Hey David, do you blame the car when someone commits vehicular manslaughter?

One other thing. Why are the manufacturers of assault rifles allowed to blatantly market them to kids? (And yes, if you're too young to legally buy a beer, you're a kid.) https://t.co/kaopyofBWZ — PolitiTweet.org

This should read "more-and more deadly-guns." Why should anyone be able to purchase an assault rifle, weapons of war like the one this kid used in Highland Park? Or that kid used in Uvalde? Or the other kid used in Buffalo? — PolitiTweet.org

This is assinine. The POLICE have guns. They were at the July 4th parade. But they couldn't stop a sniper on a rooftop w/an assault rifle from shooting 70 rounds within seconds at the families below. Stop w/ the crap that the answer to gun violence is more and more deadly guns! — PolitiTweet.org

Since 1950, 94% of mass public shootings occurred in gun-free zones.

Flags are at half staff at the White House for the latest victims of a mass shooting, this one in Highland Park, IL. Since these massacres keep repeating themselves, perhaps we should just leave the flags down until we, as a country, fully confront this plague of gun violence? — PolitiTweet.org

I found this revealing. On #AxeFiles, @KellyannePolls spoke about the meeting in '16 at which Trump offered her the campaign manager job.

We are killing OURSELVES under the banner of freedom. Well how about the freedom to safely attend a July 4th parade w/your family? How about the freedom of a child to attend school or play in a park without fear of being shot? Why do we allow these weapons of war on our streets? — PolitiTweet.org

At the very least, can't we take further steps to keep maniacs like the Highland Park shooter from raining bullets down on crowds of people at a July 4th parade, or innocent kids in classrooms or shoppers at local grocery stores. THIS IS MADNESS. — PolitiTweet.org

Do you really believe that we would have FEWER gun-related deaths if we just had MORE guns on our streets? The U.S. already has nearly HALF of the privately-owned guns in the world--and, not surprisingly, exponentially more gun-related death than other, industrialized countries. — PolitiTweet.org

A friend took his kids to July 4th Parade in Highland Park today. His son has special needs. When shots rang out, they ran for their lives, the dad pushing his grown son's wheelchair--which at one point tumbled over. On America's day, what has become a sickeningly American story. — PolitiTweet.org
