In just a few minutes, I’ll be at the #GunSenseForum talking about how we can address the gun violence epidemic head on. I hope you’ll tune in. https://t.co/MbcjOsKLV1 — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

The dialogue about gun violence in America is shifting, thanks to the work of activists, organizers, community leaders, and survivors. It's time to turn our heartbreak and anger into action, and take power from the NRA and corrupt lawmakers and return it to the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

And we'll revisit this legislation every year—adding new ideas and tweaking existing ones—to keep reducing the number of gun deaths in America. My budget will invest $100 million for DOJ and HHS to study gun violence, evaluate the reforms we pass, and suggest new ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

We have to chart a new path, and that starts with investing in evidence-based community violence intervention designed to stop gun violence before it occurs. As president, I’ll establish a grant program to invest in and pilot intervention programs at scale. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Black and Latinx Americans have borne the brunt of the gun violence tragedy. But after being traumatized by gun violence, these communities have been doubly victimized by increased policing and strict sentencing laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

In addition to ending the special legal immunity gun manufacturers have now, Congress should hold manufacturers strictly liable for gun-related injuries and give victims of gun violence a private right of action to recover compensatory damages from manufacturers. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

This legislation will ensure that safe, responsible ownership is the standard for everyone who chooses to own a gun. We'll create a federal licensing system, require universal background checks, establish a real waiting period, and cap firearms purchases. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I will send Congress comprehensive gun violence prevention legislation and sign it into law within my first 100 days. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

My administration will also protect survivors of domestic abuse by closing the "boyfriend loophole." And we'll reverse the Trump administration's efforts to weaken gun safety, including rules that enabled 3-D printed guns and make it easier to create untraceable weapons. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

We'll require background checks for the vast majority of private gun sales, including at gun shows and online. We'll extend the existing requirements on reporting bulk gun sales. And we'll raise the minimum age for purchasing a gun. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

From the White House, I will take executive action to rein in an out-of-control gun industry. Gun manufacturers make billions by knowingly selling deadly products, and it’s time to hold gun dealers and manufacturers accountable for the violence promoted by these products. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

In 2017, almost 40,000 people died from guns in the U.S. My goal is to reduce that number by 80%. We’ll start with solutions we believe will work. We’ll update those solutions based on new research—and stop corrupt extremists from blocking action by ending the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

It’s easy to despair when our government refuses to act. But we are not incapable of solving big problems. Over fifty years ago, we took big steps to make our cars safer and since then, we reduced per-mile driving deaths by almost 80% and prevented 3.5 million automobile deaths. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

The statistics are horrifying. Our firearm homicide rate is 25x higher than other comparable countries. Our firearm suicide rate is nearly 10x higher. Women are 21x more likely to be shot to death—most killed by an intimate partner. 21 children and teenagers are shot every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Gun violence is a public health crisis. That’s why I have a comprehensive gun violence prevention plan—a plan to make big, structural changes to end the NRA and corrupt lawmakers’ ability to block our government from defending the lives of our people. https://t.co/fcDY6hZzdI — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

In America, you ought to have a chance to build a real future for yourself and your family. But in farming communities in Council Bluffs and across Iowa, that’s getting harder and harder. We must invest in our farmers and our farm communities. https://t.co/f3g7iMnp3A — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I’m proud to sign the #DownBallotPledge! When we fight, we win—and in 2020, we have a real shot to elect Democrats up and down the ballot and make the big, structural changes our country needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

RT @TeamWarren: .@IAforWarren is bringing the heat to the Iowa #WingDing and we are so here for it. https://t.co/LCEwTPKtiD — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I applaud the 5th Circuit's decision upholding the constitutionality of the Indian Child Welfare Act. ICWA has been crucial in protecting the best interests of Native children, their families, and their communities for over 40 years and must be protected. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Fran’s home in Pacific Junction, Iowa was devastated by flooding earlier this year. As she showed me where you can still see the water line, I asked her why she thought this was happening. Her answer: Climate change. I agree, and I’m ready to take bold action to fight back. https://t.co/tJuN1xLKII — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Watching this little girl cry out for her father is a punch in the gut. The Trump administration’s cruelty knows no end. I want to be very clear here: Families belong together. And when I am president, they will be. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Looking forward to participating in @MomsDemand and @Everytown’s presidential #GunSenseForum this Saturday in Iowa. I’m in this fight for our kids, for our communities, and for our futures. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

5 years ago Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Michael was unarmed yet he was shot 6 times. I stand with activists and organizers who continue the fight for justice for Michael. We must confront systemic racism and police violence head on. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Voters shouldn’t have to worry about whether their ballot is vulnerable to hackers. We need state-of-the-art voting machines, ballots, and election security—and I’ve got a plan for that. https://t.co/wqsr71Zu0s — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

It’s true—I joined Snapchat! Can’t wait to continue to connect with our grassroots supporters. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Climate change is getting worse and is putting our families’ futures in jeopardy. We need to help American farmers use all the tools in their toolbox to fight climate change—before food shortages become a reality. https://t.co/OMD58fpslZ — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

I’m standing with @gunsdownamerica, @AMarch4OurLives, and @AFTunion as they rally this weekend to urge @Walmart to stop selling guns. I hope you’ll join them. https://t.co/lmuPztbfwN — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Companies that sell guns have a responsibility to the safety of their communities. @Walmart is one of the largest gun retailers in the world. The weapons they sell are killing their own customers and employees. No profit is worth those lives. Do the right thing—stop selling guns. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Warren @ewarren

Sometimes, companies recognize that they have an obligation to the lives, health, and safety of their communities. In 2014, for example, CVS voluntarily stopped selling tobacco products. Cigarette sales went down, and more smokers tried to quit. That's progress. — PolitiTweet.org
