Unlike the highly publicized Republican filibuster in which Ted Cruz recited Green Eggs and Ham, the content of this 14+ hour filibuster stayed on topic, with statistics, studies, and stories of other shootings filling the time.

Anyone who says there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans are out of their minds.

And yeah, where was Bernie? Oh yeah, this wasn't about him.
