I just donated $100 to Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense. https://momsdemandaction.org/
I won’t hold my breath waiting for conservatives to invest in mental health care.
A flight attendant at the time of her son's murder, McBath started speaking out on gun-violence prevention and eventually joined the staff of Moms Demand Action as a national spokeswomen for the organization. This year, she decided it was time to run for office herself and she is now candidate to represent a district in the Atlanta area in the Georgia House of Representatives.
“It became clearer to me that maybe only way we were going to be able to change what was happening in the country was to get in on the inside,” she told ABC News during an interview. “Yes, I have been helping to building this huge external movement around the nation. Yes, that’s fine and dandy, but if we cannot get gun control champions on the inside…then it is going to take much, much longer for us to beat the goliath of the NRA gun lobby.”
There is an interesting dynamic on social media right now with students tweeting responses to conservative media members.
Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam (R), who is running for governor of Florida, authored the provision and asked state Sen. Kelli Stargel (R) to tuck it into the end of a 98-page agriculture bill that deals mostly with oyster harvesting, livestock, and liquefied gas. The controversial provision would require the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the state agency that monitors gun purchases, to issue concealed carry firearm licenses to people within 90 days of their application, even if their background checks are incomplete.
The state Senate Appropriations Committee was scheduled to consider the legislation at 1 p.m. Thursday. Shortly before she headed into the committee meeting, state Sen. Linda Nelson (D), who represents the district that includes Pulse nightclub, told ThinkProgress she questions why the gun provision was added to the bill in the first place.
“It’s just the wrong vehicle to talk about this,” she said. “There’s so much in that ag bill that I support — the oysters, and the greening money. You don’t want to be against agriculture because we need all those things… But I just can’t support it.”

Agree 100%.
How does a 19 year old get that weapon all all that ammunition?
It’s that easy? Just go to Walmart?
Welp.
Jordan Jereb, captain of the Republic of Florida, said Cruz “was part of our organization.” ROF hosted a “paramilitary” training session in the Tallahassee area that Cruz attended, Jereb said. “He probably used that training to do what he did yesterday. Nobody I know told him to do that, he just freaked out,” Jereb added.
While Jereb denied responsibility for the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High Schoo, he admitted someone in the ROF group purchased Cruz a rifle.
“I think somebody bought him a Mosin-Nagant, but that’s bolt action. He had a semi-automatic in the school,” Jereb said, adding, “He may have buried it in his survival cache. We encourage members to do that.”
"There are more gun dealers in the U.S. than grocery stores (37,716), McDonald's (14,098), total coffee shops (55,246), and almost 6 for every Starbucks (10,843). If you include gun collectors, manufacturers, and importers (138,659 as of December 2015), there are more gun dealers in the U.S. than there are pharmacies (67,000) or public schools (98,328)," the team wrote.
