Epic homophobe Mike Lee is so concerned about LGBTQ+ people being able to protect themselves without the horrible burden of a background check

There's an important conversation to be had about the negative effects of some gun violence prevention measures on marginalized communities. And it is true that gun laws have had I'll effects on Black people. That's an important conversation that we should have. I just don't get the sense these Senate Republicans are trying to do so in good faith.

🙋♀️ supports common sense gun reform
🙋♀️ Doesn't have a personal security detail or live in a gated community
So, that was plain wrong

That would be like saying all the people who want to ban abortions don't have a uterus. Just plain idiotic.

this lady is seriously arguing that she was more afraid of losing her concealed carry permit than of dying so she let her parents get shot and killed? What the hell?! I’m not watching, but this sounds like the lady whose parents were killed in the luby’s massacre. Her parents were killed and she fought for concealed carry. Because if only she had a gun, his wouldn’t have happened...except the shooter was shot several times by police before shootings himself. I will never understand these arguments.

I mean lots of states allow concealed carry, but you have to have a permit.

FFS you have to register a vehicle! I really dont understand why there would be push back on registering a firearm.
Again NOBODY wants to take them away from legally owning a fire arm.

I'm really glad Senator Booker brought up the fact that illicit gun ownership endangers law enforcement officers. Wild to me that the "Back the Blue" party are screaming about "rioters" but won't acknowledge the dangers to LEO from guns.

I'm glad Maisie brought this up.
The gun industry is the only one that has no accountability/consumer protection standards.

Exactly! I’m in an industry that gets attacked regularly, and one that can have controversy. You know what we do? Companies, lobbying groups, etc, gather feedback and RESEARCH to either figure out how we can make it better, solve problems/provide clarity for consumers, or modernize testing or laws so that they keep up. Often this means years of safety studies and endless hours of collaboration into how to implement proposed regs. Rarely do you see my industry say “no laws!” It’s more like, “can we please inform govt of what’s realistic and/or lobbying to make sure that when new regs are passed, that the proper clarity is included so we can implement quickly and efficiently. (I will say that obviously some are more cooperative than others, but I’m speaking generally).

My brain has melted you guys and spilled out my ears. I don't even have rage in me anymore. Just fukitol, because nothing will change. We just have to wait for our ticket to get punched, a high likelihood of it being in a public space by gun.
It is what it is.

This feels VERY out of place, but it is happening and it is a problem. This is a wild ride that is currently unfolding.
I will try to return and edit to add further tweets in a spoiler (once I charge my phone).
TLDR is Cinnamon Toast Crunch has a HORRIBLE PR response and shellfish allergy and kosher peoples should be very careful.
ETA: didn’t edit to add, see post below.
