18: The number of times a firearm has discharged a live round on a school campus in the U.S. in the first 45 days of 2018, according to @Everytown. Enough with the hollow "thoughts and prayers" from lawmakers. We need action. #StonemanShooting tnvge.co/qUpiSBH
Among the victims, 17 people are confirmed dead and 14 are injured. Others are still missing. #StonemanShooting tnvge.co/VKxWibH

1) Let me, a Broward schoolteacher near Marjory Stoneman Douglas, give a perspective on school shootings from the inside.
2) Once a year, my co-workers and I are birefed by a LEO on what to do if a gunman enters the school.
Inevitably, we listen to the stories of gun violence at similar schools.
I realize the LEO has given this spiel so much, it's automatic.

1/ THREAD: I often get attacked by extremists who see any attempt to improve safety and gun laws as a gun ban. As a gun owner, I believe we should lead efforts to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them

2/ No law can stop all crime. What laws do (like laws against running red lights) is give law enforcement a way to enforce and prosecute.

3/ Require all transfers via FFL's. Without a background check, non-licensed sellers can't know if a buyer is prohibited from buying a gun. Only 9 states and DC require background checks on private sales of all guns.
