This week we lost 17 Americans in Parkland - the deadliest school shooting since Sandy Hook in 2012. Since then, 438 people have been shot and 138 killed in over 230 school shootings. That’s 5 school shootings every month, 16 of which classify as “mass shootings.”— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) February 16, 2018
Now is the time to listen to the students, teachers, and parents demanding that we end this carnage once and for all with gun safety laws that keep guns out of the hands of those who shouldn’t have them.— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) February 16, 2018
We owe it to this young man who lost classmates: https://t.co/unKn0eK0i2— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) February 16, 2018
Powerful plea from a student who survived the Parkland shooting, David Hogg: “Please! We are children. You guys are, like...the adults. Take action, work together, come over your politics, and get something done.” pic.twitter.com/UcTNungORp— Vera Bergengruen (@VeraMBergen) February 15, 2018
And to this young woman. Every day that we refuse to act, we are failing them. https://t.co/IfkkP76DbX— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) February 16, 2018
I was hiding in a closet for 2 hours. It was about guns. You weren't there, you don't know how it felt. Guns give these disgusting people the ability to kill other human beings. This IS about guns and this is about all the people who had their life abruptly ended because of guns. https://t.co/XnzhvuN1zd— carly (@car_nove) February 15, 2018
Mass shootings are not inevitable. The majority of Americans support common sense gun reform. Though we feel angry, heartbroken, even helpless now, we have the power to elect people who will protect lives, not gun sellers’ profits. Remember these feelings in November, and VOTE.— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) February 16, 2018
