09/25/2018 Tweet - "It only takes one story of a teacher accidentally firing a gun in a classroom, leaving a gun in a school bathroom, or threatening a child with a gun, to know we need fewer firearms in schools--not more. I call on @BetsyDeVosED to end this dangerous proposal immediately."
09/25/2018 Tweet - "In the aftermath of many school shootings, we should be doing everything we can to address gun violence and make our schools safer.

09/12/2018 Tweet - "By allowing schools to use federal funds to buy firearms, @BetsyDeVosED is making our schools more dangerous and our students less safe. I'm going to keep fighting this deeply harmful proposal every step of the way."
09/11/2018 Tweet - "I appreciate @ChrisMurphyCT leading the charge calling for @BetsyDevosED to testify on allowing schools to use federal money to buy guns. This isn't what these funds are meant for & more guns in the classroom will only make students & teachers less safe."

08/31/2018 Tweet - "This editorial from @EverettHerald hits the nail squarely on the head (Special Character) "There are other solutions to increasing safety that don't turn schools into armed camps. Putting more "good guys with guns' into schools would actually make our children less safe."
08/31/2018 Tweet - "Using federal funds to arm teachers in our schools isn't what students or parents want, what our teachers want, or what Congress intended. There are better ways to keep our kids safe--period."

08/23/2018 Tweet - "It's not surprising that @BetsyDeVosEd would have the gall to try to sneak guns into schools through a program intended to support students and provide academic enrichment opportunities, but I'm going to stand with students, teachers, and parents across the country to fight it."
08/23/2018 Tweet - "Using these funds to add more firearms into schools is not only the opposite of what Congress intended, it is wrong and will make schools more dangerous and students less safe."
08/22/2018 Tweet - "Allowing blueprints online that help people to print guns is a direct rebuke to the wishes of the majority of people who want more common sense gun safety reforms, not fewer. Congress must come together to address this issue before it's too late."

06/21/2018 Tweet - "Since Columbine, over 210,000 students have experienced a shooting on campus--and 85% of the firearms used in these incidents have come from home or a family member. Safe gun storage and responsible firearm ownership are key to protecting our children. #AskingSavesKids"
