\u201cOur leaders need to lead. Stand up to the gun lobby and do what's right \u200bto keep our children safe from gun violence.\u201d

\u201cNo words, no actions, no laws are enough until we end this epidemic of school shootings in our country. My heart is with the students and parents of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.\u201d

\u201cWe owe it to our children and our teachers to keep them safe while at school. Prayers won't do this: action will. Congress, please do your job and protect Americans from senseless gun violence\u201d

\u201cHeartbroken over the news of another school shooting. This is the 18th in 45 days of 2018. Students & teachers shouldn't have to fear for their safety. We must do more to prevent these senseless acts of gun violence. My heart is w/ the people in Parkland, FL. Enough is enough.\u201d

\u201cPrayers without accordant action are silent lies told to oneself, heard by no God, amounting to nothing. Action is the language of truth, the prayers of the Saints.\u201d

\u201cWe have to elect candidates that are not funded by the NRA in November. We have an opportunity to elect candidates who won\u2019t allow kids to go to school and get shot. It is disgusting how many times this has happened and Republicans do nothing. You all have blood on your hands.\u201d

\u201cSir, we need more than prayers and condolences. We need rational gun legislation https://t.co/LQjTRh3VgZ\u201d

\u201cLike thousands in South Florida, we sent the boys to school in Broward County this morning... there are no words to describe the despair, horror & anger. This does not have to be our collective reality. How many more? How many children must not make it home?\u201d

\u201cIf people can blame drug dealers for the drug problem then we can blame the @NRA for the mass shooting problem.\u201d

\u201cI hate guns. I hate people\u2019s defense of guns. I hate the NRA. I hate watching kids filing out of another school, terrified. I hate that their friends are dead. I hate that it will happen again soon. And I hate that nothing will be done. What a fucking mess #Broward #guncontrol\u201d
