OMG seriously America your 2nd amendment is out of date, it was made for 1700s where guns took 10min to load 1 shot.

Your love of guns over lives is disgusting #EnoughIsEnough just like Ukraine was going to have peace talks until US said no peace talks, you fight.

wtf!! #NoMore

It's too much. This is not normal. We should never allow school shootings to feel "normal." NO shootings should feel "normal."

How many times do we need to say #EnoughIsEnough before it's actually #ENOUGH for those with the power to do something about it?https://t.co/nKxcpVMoxI
