Despite Another Mass Shooting Republicans Voted For Terrorists Having Access To Guns

Every time a mass shooting occurs in the United States, you can thank the Republican Party. Time and time and time again, these political goons have banded together against gun control. Not to protect the 2nd Amendment, as many right-wing gun nuts claim. No, they are beholden to the NRA and the gun industry.

Thousands of Americans are dead because keeping us vulnerable to gun violence is profitable. When shootings happen, gun sales skyrocket. The gun industry cleans up, but it has done nothing to make Americans safe from future tragedies. Nothing.

Great job, Republicans. You built this. #PulseShooting #Orlando #GunSense https://t.co/vSETrfZwCc pic.twitter.com/xi395hiCQd
