    BREAKING: In a SHOCKING move, two Texas Republicans just joined the Democrats to PASS the “Raise The Age” gun control bill out of committee in the Texas Legislature! That's right – TEXAS! Don't ever let anyone tell you we can't win. Because we WILL. The NRA is freaking out, because they know this opens up a huge door for the rest of the country. I know from personal experience that sane local laws can lead to national exposure — and national CHANGE. We're doing it!!! More details below shortly on the next steps. 👇🧵

    @MomsDemand The NRA has lost the respect of every sane American. That's why they still have Republicans locked in. But when they start to lose Republican politicians to advocacy groups for the PEOPLE like @MomsDemand – as they just did in Texas – you KNOW the NRA is f**ked.
