“The response at every point from my fellow Democrats has been, ‘Can this wait till after the election?’ My hope is that we’re on the verge of beating Trump, and I can’t wait to see every single person who told us to shut up about saving our families’ lives out there in the streets with us, on the phones, in front of the White House, demanding an end to these weapons.” -@AZAlawieh on @CrookedMedia
