Profoundly saddened by a mass shooting in NYC killing 4 people, including a police officer. We must never accept the lie that gun casualties are the price of constitutional freedom. May the memories of the lost be a blessing to friends & family & a reminder to all of us to act.

Profoundly full of shit is more accurate. With your help, we're funding Israel's GENOCIDE on Palestine. Act? How about the entire lot of you genocidalists just GFY.

It's not the guns killing people. It's the person pulling the trigger. If we can get the mental health institutions and stuff back from Trump's bullshit. Before a lot more of this stuff happens.... We can see a lot less shootings. Mental health is not something to fuck with.

What do you people on vacation give a fck about that for? You all fcking made this bed.
-
Guns make guys cowards. Guns kill family. Guys buy guns to eat.
-
Ban military grade weapons from civilian ownership. Weapons of war do not belong on our streets.
-
Since the Right seems to be ignoring the Constitution, perhaps it's time for the Left to start ignoring the Second Amendment.
What's good for the goose-stepper is good for the gander.
-
These killings will continue until Congress can set aside their indebtedness to the NRA for its campaign support, understand the intentions of the 2nd amendment and enact some sensible, needed arms control legislation.
-
Again?
-
Better enforcement of red flag laws should play a part in addressing the issue.
-
The gunman knew he presented a threat to himself and others.
-
I learned that the founding fathers wanted regulated militias because they feared the power a standing army could be used against its citizens.
Kind of mutes your point.
-
We didn't have this until Russia funded the nra and they became the gun lobby. If gop wouldn't have let the assault weapons ban ,thousands would be alive today.
-
Well good luck changing it. Cuz as soon as Democrats take the house senate and the presidency they will say..
let's only look forward. We're not burning any bridges we're going to work with the Republicans let's look forward.
THIS BULLSHITT THAT THE DEMOCRATS DO HIGH ROAD S*** PISSES US OFF!

JUST PARKED AND TOOK A WALK WITH HIS AUTOMATIC WEAPON
NYC IS SAFE for a city of 8 MILLION
and their GUN LAWS make is so!
but he took an elevator - wanted the NFL office
suffering from brain issues
-
Thoughts and prayers. That's all you politicians ever say. Thoughts and prayers. This guy walked through the streets with no fear as he knew no one was armed and would not stop him. That's what useless gun laws do. When the ability to defend yourself is stripped away these are the results.
-
At least they bagged a cop.
-
A mentally ill man on medication bought the gun legally in Nevada and drove with his rifle to NYC. Nobody is safe in this country….
-
Sensible gun control is all about regulating their purchase and use it use without hampering freedoms unjustifiably. Australia did it after the Port Arthur Massacre decades ago. No mass shootings since. Period. Regulate people and guns sensibly. You can still use them for appropriate purposes.
-
The Democratic Party is failing us. Your James carville approach is a failure. And your poll numbers show it. How are we supposed to vote for a party that refuses to fight?
-
They never cared about our Constitution. It was never about that. Clearly. They’re fine violating the hell out of every other amendment.They seem to like violating everything. And everyone. Such evil is hard to comprehend.
A species that devours its own young is headed for extinction.
-
you useless wanker
here is how a real leader, Gov Hochul of NY, does it
-
"Profoundly saddened"
is that stronger or weaker then "thoughts and prayers"
maybe we here should chip in and buy you a pearl necklace to clutch ?
I would have expected you to write:
These deaths are the direct result of GOP policies and GOP votes and a direct result of the NRA's insane policies
-
There was a time when leaders had the integrity to put themselves on the front lines. But you don’t do shit except sit around yammering while fascism takes over America. Coward.
-
Mr. Raskin, do you plan on posting this every day because there is on average more than 1 mass shooting event in America every day?
What made this one so special you felt to speak out now?
You need to get primaried for someone who cares consistently about others, not just when it is convenient.
-
The image of the shooter walking around the streets with an assault weapon seems so ridiculous. How anyone other than the police or military are allowed to carry weapons like that is incomprehensible.

There was one in Reno, NV

Respectfully, @raskin.house.gov, I think that in order to act it's going to take brave & bold action at this point. & I mean I think it's really time to consider articles of impeachment. Donald Trump has gone too far. If he goes further (& he will,) he'll sink us into a hole that we can't get out of

Prayers sent 🙏

Yes, people have to be active.

A few years ago that police officer would have been round up by ICE and deported.
Mayor Adams, fuck you complicate MAGA bitch.
-
Idjit kennedy rushing out to insist we don't need gun control we need idiot control. Yup, he's right!!!! And he's the idiot. Stop and Frisk for Assault Rifles????

As long as billionaires own your corrupt party, you will continue to appear like a fool…as if you work for us and we can’t see those billionaires behind you pulling your strings.
Do nothing Democrats are complicit because Democrats are billionaire owned
-
Curiosity here: when has the 2nd amendment ever been utilized against a weaponized gov oppressing its people? Since its inking it has been we the people killing each other.
-
Jamie, if we don't call out the perversion of the 2nd Amendment, this will keep happening.
Just as "Money is speech" is A LIE, the "Right to own guns" is A LIE.
Both LIES created by corrupt Republicans, NOT to increase freedom for all, but to increase THEIR OWN POWER & BANK ACCOUNTS.
GUT THE 2A.
-
Yep, the only constitutional amendment they support is the one that kills people!
-
He was headed to the NFL office and planned to off himself because he had head trauma from the sport. Absolutely NO ONE helped this man, so it's on the entire society as to WHY he did it. You blame guns, I blame you. Yes, this is a societal problem. People don't do these things if they're cared for.
-
An immigrant police officer who was contributing to his community.
-
Every day one of US recognizes we have no access to justice. No hope of escape from debt. The police are barely not a criminal gang. Largest prison population on earth.
-
Nice, but maybe make your society liveable so people get help rather than this. US made problem.
-
Thank you for saying something. It’s a sad situation that we all see too much of.
-
In a city with some of the strictest gun control laws. GUN FREE ZONES are a failure! Shooter knows GFZ are soft targets, and no one will shoot back.
-
-
How about writing or promoting a bill that bans assault weapons.
-
The assassin was a deranged man
Deranged men cannot have the right to hold guns
It is always the innocents who pay the price
-
It’s a shame there’s really just nothing to be done about it right?
-
I hate to say it but the TRUTH is Democrats as a whole need to get comfortable with their own second amendment rights. Putting a fascist back in office was fatal to this country and now it's not going to get any better for generations to come. Time to encourage Democrats to arm up.
-
What constitutional freedom? At gunpoint?
-
Previously acknowledged.

Thank you for not using the words "thoughts and prayers" in your statement. I appreciate your willingness to speak the truth.
-
Ban assault weapons in the USA.
-
Words. Words mean nothing Jamie. Now you're going to dismiss it without trying to figure out what ACTIONS you can take. STOP doing what Republicans do. 'thoughts & prayers' now let's move on.
-
Obama was unable to pass gun control legislation after Sandy Hook. How do you expect J. Raskin to do it now, with no majority in the House or Senate? Raskin IS on the gun control side.
-
Why isn't anyone mentioning that T the sodomite, used Epstein's plane to campaign for the presidency, and then denies he ever knew him? COME ON!!!!

NY was a tragedy but so was Reno and no one seems to know about it.Shooting at GSR Reno kills 3, wounds 3 others share.google/uLroguFUxzB1...
Reno casino shooting: 3 people dead, 3 others shot outside Grand Sierra Resort, police say
Three people are dead and three others wounded by gunfire after a man opened fire with a handgun outside the Grand Sierra Resort Casino in Reno Monday morning, police said.
-
Politicians will only deal with the gun issue if it effects Wall Street and their stock portfolios.
Until then, it's all performative rhetoric.
-
Reno hardly got a mention… shooting event held there too. This is the quintessential USA.
-
K. That really helps. Meanwhile guns are easier to get than cotton candy🌬️
-
It is maddening. These type of guns need to be banned! People r too frustrated and crazy these days! A ban wont stop it, but maybe slow it down!
