When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

This is what happens when you have a president who’s been found civilly liable for sexually abusing a woman, and is now facing allegations of pedophilia. Trump and his administration aren’t just looking the other way—they’re actively protecting abusers. 🔍🕵🏽♂️👇🏾
