An "assault politicians" ban can only happen one way: at the polls.

Dear Democratic Leaders.
The shooter was a registered Republican.
So you can bypass the needless, unnecessary days of handwringing about the “tone of the rhetoric”and restart campaigning full throttle against Trump, MAGA, and Project 2025 again.
It is also a good moment to campaign against assault weapons too.

#SOTU24 President Biden on #AssaultWeaponsBan and the 2nd Amendment
Meanwhile — meanwhile, my predecessor told the NRA he’s proud he did nothing on guns when he was President.
After another shooting in Iowa recently, he said — when asked what to do about it, he said, just “get over it. -

JUST HOURS BEFORE the #UNLV shooting, Senate Republicans voted down the #AssaultWeaponsBan. At a rate of TWO MASS SHOOTINGS PER DAY, it was no coincidence. https://www.msnbc.com/alex-wagner-tonight/watch/-it-was-a-matter-of-time-shooter-terrorizes-unlv-as-republicans-block-new-gun-reforms-199610949730 -

I will say this out loud.
Arguably, Putin/Russian money laundered through the gun lobby as campaign donations to the Republican Party, preventing any robust federal legislation on guns such as an assault weapons ban, has arguably been their most successful domestic terrorism operation against the USA. They have found a way to attack us from within.

@GottaLaff Oh my gosh. This is an unending nightmare in the US.
We need an #AssaultWeaponsBan now! -
The #AssaultWeaponsBan expired in 2004. After the mass killing at #SandyHook Elementary School in 2012, in which 20 first-graders & 6 adults were gunned down, #Feinstein spearheaded an unsuccessful effort to renew the #law.
#Biden, who recruited her to serve on the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, called her “a pioneering American. …There’s no better example of her skillful legislating & sheer force of will than when she turned passion into purpose, & led the fight to ban assault weapons.” -
Of all the #legislation that crossed #Feinstein’s #Senate desk, the #bill w/which she was most associated was the #AssaultWeaponsBan that President Bill #Clinton signed into #law in 1994. The uphill effort showcased Feinstein at her most determined. When a more snr senator, Larry Craig (R-ID), questioned her experience on #gun issues, she reminded him that she had become mayor of #SanFrancisco as a result of a double assassination. “I know something about what #firearms can do,” she said.

By the city’s succession laws, #Feinstein was elevated to mayor, an office she held for 9yrs before losing a bid for California governor in 1990. 2 yrs later, she won election to the #Senate, where she rose to become chairwoman of the #Intelligence Cmte & the top #Democrat on the #Judiciary Cmte. During >3 decades in office, she delivered muscular support as well as withering criticism of the #CIA, helped mold the #FederalBench, & championed an #AssaultWeaponsBan….

Apparently if you don’t want your children shot up by an AR-15 at school, you are “Commie Mommies”.
Turn that around as a positive and put it on a t-shirt.
“Proud ‘Commie Mommy” for sensible gun laws.” #BanAssaultWeapons #AssaultWeaponsBan

The lives of students, teachers, and you matter more than the assault weapon fetishes of the NRA and MAGA.

“Thoughts and Prayers” are not enough. Action is required. Faith without works is dead.
Pass an assault weapons ban, and throw out every single Senator and Representative in Congress and our state legislatures who won’t vote for one.
Take back our government from the iron grip of the gun lobby.

Biden says US is at ‘tipping point’ on gun control: ‘We will ban assault weapons in this country’

The #AssaultWeaponsBan we had for a number of years had problems with it, but its repeal by the #GOP at where the red line shows up sure seems to indicate it was doing something.
