Because the NRA makes money anytime criminals get guns and shoot people instead of teaching themselves how to be productive citizens. https://fortworthreport.org/2025/06/09/fort-worth-gun-violence-prevention-program-is-in-limbo-heres-why/ #FortWorth #Texas #GunControlNow
Horrific footage of an 11 year old girl in #Durham running into a nearby rescue mission asking for help after being shot.

On Thursday, a criminal pointed a rifle at police. During the ensuing police chase, an officer accidentally fired their service weapon at a fellow officer, killing them. The criminal was caught, but that will not bring back Officer Krystal Rivera. The NRA owns this.

The Worst Part of the Unanimous Supreme Court Ruling Blocking a Lawsuit Against Gunmakers https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/06/supreme-court-clarence-thomas-ketanji-brown-jackson-guns.html?via=rss #SCOTUS #GunControlNow
The Supreme Court unanimously denied a suit by #Mexico against gun manufacturers alleging liability in trafficking guns to drug cartels. The law is clear. Congress 20 years ago passed a shield law shielding gun manufacturers from such lawsuits. #Trump, in his escalator speech, stated a very real problem -- drug cartels from Mexico selling drugs to our kids. But he and the NRA have nobody to blame but themselves. They pushed the laws that enabled them. https://www.npr.org/2025/06/05/nx-s1-5424445/supreme-court-catholic-charities-wisconsin-unemployment-compensation #GunControlNow
#Texas led the nation in active shooter incidents in 2024, FBI report says. No wonder. The NRA is in the pockets of most Republican legislators there. #GunControlNow https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/texas/2025/06/06/523299/texas-led-the-nation-in-active-shooter-incidents-in-2024-fbi-report-says/?utm_source=feedly-texas-article&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=hpm-rss-link
This is what happens when the NRA pushes loopholes that allow criminals like Bruce Pierce to obtain a gun and rape a 12 year old girl at gunpoint. When our politicians fail us, it's not surprising that people take the law into their own hands. https://www.themirror.com/news/us-news/mom-shoots-child-abuser-caught-1189517?int_source=nba #Indianapolis #Indiana #GunControlNow #MeToo
Assuming this was a legitimate raid, which I question given that innocent people were caught up in it, the GOP has nobody to blame for it but itself. The article says that weapons were seized. When they grovel before the NRA and pass lax gun laws, unlicensed bars that look the other way when drug dealers, human traffickers, and other criminals come by are a logical next step. https://www.live5news.com/2025/06/02/charleston-sheriff-cartel-members-intl-murder-suspect-arrested-ice-sting/ #Charleston #SouthCarolina #GunControlNow
June 17th will be the 10th anniversary of the death of the Emmanuel Nine. The NRA owns this and all #HateCrime. Without access to guns, this crime never would have happened. https://www.scetv.org/emanuelnine #SouthCarolina #Charleston #BlackLivesMatter #GunControlNow
#KansasCity Super Bowl rally victims file suit, saying shooting was a ‘preventable calamity.' True. Too many people are scared of the NRA and don't care enough about human life to take common sense measures to protect the public. https://www.kcur.org/news/2025-06-03/kansas-city-super-bowl-rally-victims-file-suit-saying-shooting-was-a-preventable-calamity #Chiefs #Missouri #GunControlNow

These are tariffs and sanctions that #Trump should impose on #China but won't. Like the unrestricted flow of gun parts from China, seemingly undeterred by his tariffs. Apparently, for #TACOTrump, his tariffs don't apply to gun parts, given that he's on the take from the NRA. #GunControlNow #Chicago #Illinois https://abc7chicago.com/post/abc7-team-reporting-illegal-gun-trafficking-chicagos-ohare-international-airport-leads-congressional-inquiry/16603546/
In #Chicago, a drive-by shooting wounded seven as the suspects fired into a group of teens celebrating an after-prom party. The NRA owns this.

On May 27th, two high school students were found shot to death near Mount Ord (AZ). The NRA owns this.

Last night, in Baldwin Park (CA), one officer and another person were shot and killed and another officer was wounded. The NRA owns this.
