Last year I was invited to The White House to introduce @POTUS . I wish I was invited for winning a spelling bee, or my GPA. I was invited because I was SHOT at school & I now push every day for a safer America. Fight for the things you believe in, the good people WILL listen.

The shooter at my school who shot me & 4 others was a student, he was liked, a boyscout, with friends 1) no teacher could have done this 2) no teacher should be asked to do this 3) shot us in 8 seconds, would have taken minutes to figure out what was happening. ITS THE GUNS!

We lock up our cleaning supplies, pain meds, & put fences around our pools, all to keep children safe. This should NOT be a question. Want a firearm? Fine, be a RESPONSIBLE gun owner & store it safely. This is not hard. #EthansLaw #BeSmart #Safestorage

My heart is with Miah Cerrillo today. While being a survivor is hard- being an activist is harder; however we all know this work MUST be done. I commend everyone today on Capitol Hill for their courage to stand up for this cause! #StudentsDemandAction #EverytownForGunSaftey

Last time we banned assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, it worked. I know progress is hard. But we’ve done it before, and we can do it again. It’s time.

2024 will be my first Presidential Election! No doubt I’m voting #BidenHarris . When I met @POTUS & @VP they promised to keep fighting for a Country where Gun Violence is NOT the leading cause of death of kids. They kept that promise & they will get my vote! #Everytown #VoteBlue

A firearm instructor, an army reservist, a “good guy”… And now EIGHTEEN people are dead and an entire city on lockdown. What’s the next excuse? #BanAssaultWeaponsNow #EndGunViolence #ENOUGH

Sitting at DMV to take my permit test, again. Why? Because they want to make sure I don’t drive and kill somebody. The same precautions should go for gun ownership. Training, tests, registration, insurance, med clearance, permit, renewal, and if you can’t pass…YOU DONT GET ONE!

I have some great days, some good days & then some horrible days. A picture came up as a memory. It was the Halloween before we were shot. Dominic was alive. Life was normal then. Some days are hard. Dominic Michael Blackwell forever 14. #Surviving #GVP #IMissYou #GhostGuns

@SenTedCruz I guess the .45 caliber bullet scar from a GHOST GUN I have on my abdomen is false too? What about my best friend murdered by one. Here I thought you were supposed to be pro-life? Now thats false narrative.

I was shot with a ghost gun. My best friend shot & killed by one. If it looks like a gun, shoots like a gun, & kills like a gun it should be regulated as such. If you can’t pass a background check…YOU shouldn’t have a GUN! #GVP #Ghostguns #everytownforgunsafety

This ruling will allow our common-sense gun laws to remain in place while we appeal the district court’s dangerous ruling. Californians overwhelmingly support efforts to ensure that places like hospitals, libraries and children’s playgrounds remain safe and free from guns.

Do 2nd, 3rd, & 4th graders not have the right to feel safe at school?Do they not have the right to live while getting an education?Kids shouldn’t die at the sake of the antiquated 2nd amendment. The pain never stops. #studentsdemandaction #MomsDemandAction #everytownforgunsaftey

When I was 10 I met @thejohnsalley at a grocery store after getting destroyed in my basketball game. He told me to never give up. Well, I gave up basketball but took on a new fight. We met again, this time both as speakers at the @MilkenInstitute . #NeverGiveUp #GVP #basketball
