While McConnell blocks the Senate bill that protects Mueller investigation, I'm not surprised that Trump was willing to do ANYTHING McConnell wants politically. https://t.co/cxzmZbGRDV

NRA
A scene from the @NRA annual meeting in Dallas. 5,790 American children receive medical treatment each year for a gun-related injury; 21% of those injuries are unintentional. About 1,300 children die annually from a gun-related injury in the US. #NRAAM pic.twitter.com/6ONVhlJytG

Kids being shot dead in school with military grade weapons is okay because 160 years ago Democrats were arseholes.
You must need to have the IQ of a slug to join the NRA. https://t.co/S19R6zTUjs
