Opponents of gun violence on Tuesday urged Americans to vote for Democratic candidates who support commonsense safety measures after law enforcement officials said that the 19-year-old gunman who killed a teacher and a 15-year-old student at a St. Louis high school was armed with an AR-15-style rifle and more than 600 rounds of ammunition. 'Republicans will tell you the solution is some more guns. On November 8, you need to tell them they're full of shit.
And yet Republicans in Congress and the Missouri Legislature regularly stop any meaningful action to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill or, in the case of assault rifles, banning them altogether.' 'It's not okay that after every school shooting--Columbine, Newtown, Uvalde, St. Louis--we write the same narrative, with similar fact patterns, and nothing is ever done,' wrote Messenger.
