At least when we're receiving devastating news on twitter we have each other. Like an instant support group. Makes me feel less alone.

RT @huffpostpol: Here are the Twitter handles of the Senators who voted against background checks huff.to/15gpUDV
— Elizabeth Banks (@ElizabethBanks) April 18, 2013
90% of Americans favor expanded background checks for gun buyers. Our senate failed. Our system is colossally broken.
— RainnWilson (@rainnwilson) April 18, 2013
sad day that we didn't pass background checks in U.S. Every responsible gun owner i know (and i know a lot) supported it.
— Rob Thomas (@ThisIsRobThomas) April 17, 2013
If 90% of senators wanted a double non fat vanilla cappuccino & we decided they should have a black coffee instead, they would be pissed.
