Parody K-12 School Shooting Database

Today marks 14 years since Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home. He had dreams to attend college in Florida and become a pilot, but he was murdered at age 17. Too often, Stand Your Ground laws are used to justify racist murders like Trayvon's. Trayvon should still be here, and we’ll always fight for change in his honor.

The U.S. has more guns than people.

Eight years ago, lives were forever shattered when a gunman entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and killed 17 students and educators, wounding many more. We remember. We were told our pain, grief, and anger would fade with time. We were told that the systems putting gun profits over the lives of children were too powerful and too entrenched to challenge. Yet over these eight years, we have marched by the millions. We have registered a generation of voters. We have fought in the halls of Congress and in statehouses across the country, securing effective gun safety laws. And we have changed how this country talks about guns and gun violence. Still, much remains undone. While we have fought, thousands of innocent people have been killed by everyday gun violence and mass shootings. And those threatened by our movement are working to dismantle hard-won progress. On this heavy day, we carry our beloved 17 with us as a charge to keep going. The march is not over. It is accelerating. Our movement will outlast thoughts and prayers, and it will outlive those determined to turn back the clock. We will not stop until we have built a country where no one has to fear gun violence.

🔥 BREAKING 🔥 The mass murderer that shot 35 people including his own family members with 10 now confirmed dead is Jesse Strang, a TRANSGENDER male identifying as a girl. STOP Gender Ideology indoctrination NOW 😡 Giving cross sex hormones to mentally ill kids & young people is DANGEROUS.

This is a 🧵 Another year come and gone and another year of blatant data manipulation and misclassification from the k-12 school shooting database. This year I will go through about 50 of the 103 incidents it counted in 2025 that fell outside its already overly broad and overinclusive criteria. The first sentence in the introduction of this database says, "Creating a reliable data set hinges on determining the inclusion and exclusion criteria." It fails to follow its own methodology and the rules it set for itself. It is not a reliable school shooting database.

Guns have no place in schools, playgrounds, bars, and concert venues. That's common sense—and it's what we told the Third Circuit today in defending one of NJ's key public safety laws. Keeping NJ safe from gun violence is non-negotiable for me.

Every Virginian ought to be able to hold firearms manufacturers and dealers responsible for irresponsible behavior--just like any other industry. Proud to pass HB 21 to make Virginia safe.
