If Majorie Taylor Greene really wants to move past the politics of hate and lies she should apologize to David Hogg and the other student survivors of mass shooting who she stalked and accused of being crisis actors.

THREAD: This Veterans Day, I’m thinking about my dad who was a Navy helicopter pilot and the millions of veterans and their families who’ve sacrificed so much. I’m thinking about how, even on his deathbed, he had to fight for VA benefits he never received.

The new law, passed by the state Senate earlier this year, bans rapid-fire devices — often known as bump stocks — that can effectively turn semi-automatic weapons fully automatic.

Possessing one of these attachments is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail. Transporting or manufacturing one is a Class B felony, which can carry a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
