The guns in Parkland, Buffalo, El Paso, didn’t come from Mexico. They came from the US, and the shooters were inspired by racist, anti-black, anti-immigrant manifestos that rhyme with GOP talking points. pic.twitter.com/0D4QbHvu1t

Anti-gun activist David Hogg was kicked out of a House Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday for interrupting the proceedings.
Lawmakers were discussing legislation to ban so-called “assault weapons” and repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which shields the gun industry from frivolous lawsuits.
Hogg took to Twitter to explain why he abruptly spoke out.
“We have a duty to interrupt white nationalists when they spew harmful rhetoric. We have to, they’re using the same talking points as mass shooter manifestos,” Hogg said.
