Today, I found out that my senator played a role in the nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida. He voted in favor of people on the terrorist watch list being able to purchase assault rifles. A terrorist bought a gun that day with the intention of murdering 52 people and injuring many more. 933Please respect copyright.PENANAPAu4bCbpyd
52 beautiful, wonderful, innocent people died because our gun control policy has not changed. This wouldn’t have happened or wouldn’t have been as severe if that terrorist didn’t have legal access to guns. Stricter background checks aren’t good enough anymore. We need more. We need a policy change. 933Please respect copyright.PENANAzJvlAVsBYU
We need to feel safe regardless of who we are, who we love, what our skin color is, etc.. In our home, when we go for a bite, when we meet up with friends, when we go to a nightclub to dance some stress off, we need tobe safe. 933Please respect copyright.PENANAM2vnpZkzMM
There is no sense in violence. There is no need to be so hateful. 933Please respect copyright.PENANAeZFaSI5EIN
If you don’t agree, if you don’t like the LGBTQ+ community, then don’t go on a killing spree. Don’t be mean and say hurtful things. There is a way to express your opinion without being so negative and violent. You don’t have to agree with it, but you must respect it. It’s their lives, it’s who they are. If you don’t like it, that’s fine. But, unless they’re hurting you, then just let it be.
We’re supposed to be humble and kind people. The very definition of HUMANity is to act human, to be benevolent. That’s what we’re here for. Not to kill, not to hate. 933Please respect copyright.PENANA3C3dypaFTK
There needs be a change. It’s time for this futile war with guns to end. Things need to be controlled. 933Please respect copyright.PENANAFSP64F5XL0
Military and law enforcement personnel have those jobs to keep us safe. They are the one’s who need the guns to protect. Even though good people, who are not taking advantage of guns have them, it’s still too dangerous and risky for anyone else to have them. To protect and save the lives of many, we need to give up our guns. 933Please respect copyright.PENANAaJfSqP4NeD
There’s too many shootings, too many bad people out there who can get a hold of guns for them to be out in the US. The policies we have now are not enough anymore. With time, maybe that can change, but for now, I believe we need to let our military and law enforcement take over. 933Please respect copyright.PENANAoEISg7nCvn
It’s for the best. I would rather some people be mad about getting their guns taken away than for them to be sad over losing a loved one at gunpoint.
Someone who encouraged me send an email to my senator about this had similar views as me. She’s uploaded a video with her opinions to YouTube (I’m Afraid of You by Hannah Hart or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maIqBhtTxrQ ). She’s a very strong and valiant person for doing so. I’d like you to watch it and to also email, call, or even tweet (reps have found twitter) and tell them to have stricter gun control laws. 933Please respect copyright.PENANA4lRGV4iEtp
