RT [@Editor_of_Eric](https://twitter.com/Editor_of_Eric/status/1531074509968506880) Please help me understand what a peach-tree dish is. Should I serve it with gestapo? 🤔🤷🏾‍♀️

RT [@ruthbenghiat](https://twitter.com/ruthbenghiat/status/1530615406024704003) Ted Cruz is financed by the gun lobby. He receives more blood money than any other politician. We need a paradigm shift to see these individuals as warlords who profit from violence. Mass shootings drive up gun sales=more $ for Cruz. https://t.co/EUqTGuMaHC

RT [@ericswalwell](https://twitter.com/ericswalwell/status/1530634857952563205) Nothing says “faith” like shootings in houses of worship.

Nothing says “family” like forced pregnancies.

Nothing says “freedom” like voter suppression.

When you hear Republicans trot out the three F’s, this is what they mean. https://t.co/Zy81RtRm7w

RT [@MaxBoot](https://twitter.com/MaxBoot/status/1530664063482613760) It’s much easier to fix our gun problem (eg ban and buyback assault weapons) than our supposed cultural problem (if we could even agree what that is). https://t.co/1puOa2d1Tj

RT [@RonBrownstein](https://twitter.com/RonBrownstein/status/1530610000606814208) Relevant also that TX has over 4 million people without health insurance, nearly one-in-five. That is, by far, the highest share of uninsured in the country. TX is one of the last states that has refused to expand Medicaid under ACA. https://t.co/dJaH75zIdb

RT [@TraciiGuns](https://twitter.com/TraciiGuns/status/1530584583049097216) A girl was killed in 1987 by a lawn dart and they were banned in 1988. A Lawn Dart!!! https://t.co/TQdazzGg8B

RT [@samswey](https://twitter.com/samswey/status/1529871955188273159) Legislators responded to the 2018 Parkland school shooting by hiring police officers in every elementary, middle and high school in Florida. It didn’t make students safer. Instead, it led to this: https://t.co/ew9NxbWfBe https://t.co/ykc5win0hm

RT @BernieSanders: It shouldn’t matter what age you are. No

RT [@BernieSanders](https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1530307153680023555) It shouldn’t matter what age you are. No one needs an AR-15 or any other assault weapon designed to massacre people. When we had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004, mass shootings went down 43%. After it expired, mass shootings tripled. End the filibuster. Ban assault weapons.

RT [@MaxBoot](https://twitter.com/MaxBoot/status/1530606908322750465) So what to Republicans propose to do about all these social pathologies they blame for mass shootings? Nothing. Of course.

As I wrote in @PostOpinions (https://t.co/6krEhOK0fO) these are all deceitful dodges to divert pressure for tougher gun laws. https://t.co/qoRX7L7ITV
