Another day, another mass shooting. This time in Allen, Texas. Just as a reminder, 169 Republicans voted against an "Active Shooter Alert System."
@lisakrstin The Federal Government has no enumerated power to create an "Active Shooter Alert System". Show me the Article and Clause. This is for the states, like abortion.
@lisakrstin They should absolutely have voted against it. There are already groups that run alert systems, and the federal government has no constitutional role spending taxpayer cash on “co-ordinating” federal responses to ongoing local situations as they develop.
@lisakrstin They always put some kind of poison pill that has nothing to do with the bill in it to make republicans not vote for and the republicans do the same thing to the democrats
@lisakrstin The bill passed the House. It landed in the Senate afterwards for their approval.
@lisakrstin Keep electing republicans & put your kids in harms way, everyday.
@lisakrstin How would the alert system have prevented the shooting?
