‘We’re all sitting ducks’ without more substantial gun control, Georgia senator says
The Gun Violence Archive defines a mass shooting as one in which four or more victims are killed or wounded.
A mass murder is one in which four or more victims are killed.
J D #Vance “talks about hardening our schools and making them secure
– well the reality is this is happening in spas, in shopping malls”, Senator Raphael #Warnock said on CNN.
“It’s happening in houses of worship, in medical clinics.
“What are we going to do? Make the whole country into a fort?”
He told NBC: 
“We’re all sitting ducks. And any country that allows this to continue without putting forward just common sense safety measures is a country that has – in a tragic way – lost its way.”
Warnock alluded to an April 2023 Fox News poll which reaffirmed that 
the vast majority of Americans favored strengthening gun safety laws. And he said Congress took an encouraging first step toward treating such public support as a mandate when it enacted bipartisan legislation that expanded background checks for the youngest gun buyers while funding mental health and violence intervention programs.
But what was the first major federal firearms safety bill to pass Congress in nearly three decades was “clearly not enough”, Warnock said,
noting how the US continues recording a number of mass shootings that is disproportionate at the global level.
Warnock said polls show most in the US overwhelmingly support universal background checks. Furthermore, Warnock said that large numbers of Americans support banning general access to assault-style rifles and semi-automatic firearms.
Yet federal lawmakers have not been able to get enough votes to clear procedural hurdles preventing Congress from meaningfully consider either issue.
Warnock on Sunday blamed that reality on congressmembers who
– out of ambition or fear
– accept financial support from the wealthy gun industry.#
“We are at an impasse because there are people in … politics … who are doing the bidding of the #corporatist #gun #lobby even as they line their pockets with the blood of our children,” Warnock said.
The Guardian · ‘We’re all sitting ducks’ without more substantial gun control, Warnock says
This week, at the Democratic National Convention, the speeches of #Michelle #Obama and the Second Gentleman #Doug #Emhoff (and maybe #Lil #Jon’s, if you want to call that a speech) stood out.
But there was one speech, in particular, that struck me: The sermon-like words of Sen. #Raphael #Warnock (D-Ga.).
Warnock has served as senior pastor at Atlanta’s historic #Ebenezer #Baptist #Church for nearly 20 years.
His election on January 5, 2021 was one of two pivotal, and highly covered, Senate races in Georgia.
That made him a national figure, of sorts. But not exactly a household name. If you don’t know Warnock well, it’s worth remembering he is a pastor who invokes his Christianity as a foundation of his politics.
️He clearly brings that power to the secular pulpit in his speech on the first night of the DNC, telling of the need to heal a nation that has long been broken.
#Michelle #Obama might have done a bit of call-and-response.
But it is hard to imagine anyone else pulling off calling Donald Trump a “#plague,” as Warnock does, with such heft.

"Faith abounds at the Democratic National Convention, but don’t be surprised. Trump staffers have called the left ‘godless,’ but this year’s DNC painted a very different picture."
Jack Jenkins cites Sen. Raphael Warnock:
“I think it’s important, particularly for those of us in the Democratic Party, to be full-throated in the ways our faith informs our values. We’ve got to be full-throated in resisting this idea of Christian nationalism.”

"We should all demand, including in states like mine that don’t have early voting and no-excuse absentee voting, the right to go souls to the polls, in whatever for that takes for us. Go from your church, your temple, your mosque. Have a voting brunch or a neighborhood walk to the polls. Do whatever it takes. Voting should be easy. It should be encouraged. But far too often, it isn’t."

Dropping names — #Whitmer! #Shapiro! #Warnock! — like a groupie backstage at a heavy-metal concert, floating wildly implausible scenarios, stretching so hard for historical analogies that several probably blew out a hamstring, America’s pundit class managed to achieve a level of groupthink that surpassed the brainwashers of The Manchurian Candidate.

The Biden-24 campaign needs to make better use of the Democratic Party’s most effective messengers.
️Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime #Harrison skillfully led the party through the midterm election, reducing a predicted red wave into a pinkish ripple.
️Stacey #Abrams’s brains and energy in registering new voters helped make Democrats competitive in Georgia —
️one result being the election of Sen. Raphael G. #Warnock, whom the party should be touting as a rising star.
️ Biden’s team should turn to the likes of former Obama administration official Julián #Castro to try to keep Latino voters in the Democratic fold, too.

This was one of my favorite parts of Senator Warnock’s speech upon winning the December 6 runoff. Inclusivity and pluralism come so readily to him. I differ from Warnock, especially in my atheism, but I know I could work with him.

Woke up to the news that #BrittneyGriner is coming home and between that and the #Warnock win, this week has been pretty freaking great.

The work and stress and all out efforts to get this done for this state and this country for the last 2 years / 4 elections was not an easy feat and we are gonna ride this moment until the wheels fall off! Y’all can keep that not-a-victory talk cause we aren’t hearing it!

Hey friends. I hope everyone had a good day.
Democrats had another win to celebrate last night. It was exciting to send that post when NBC called the race!
For tonight's evening read, here's an interesting article from earlier today about Democrats' rising stars.

@muellertadzio Ja ich bin auch froh darüber dass #Warnock gegen den Trumpisten #HershelWalker gewonnen hat. 
Ich habe gestern noch in einen Artikel gelesen, dass er sich als Abtreibungsgegner ausgibt aber herauskam, dass er mehreren Frauen die Abtreibung bezahlte... 
The implications of Raphael Warnock’s victory spill far beyond the borders of Georgia
"America’s election encore sent #Warnock back to the Senate, bolstered the #Democratic majority in the chamber, gave Pres. Biden some breathing room for the next stage of his agenda, shifted the alignment in 24 committees on Capitol Hill, adjusted the political profile of a vital state, and sent yet another signal that the power of [TFG] to shape #USpolitics may be waning."
