The U.S. Olympic Team decided to partner with President Obama’s Senior Advisor Valerie Jarret decided to partner with  to hold a Q&A on Twitter to talk about how to end gun violence. Specifically, Olympians Townley Haas and Kristin Castlin decided to answer questions using the hashtag #StopGunViolence.

.@POTUS took action to ensure that if you are in the biz of selling guns, you must register & conduct background checks #StopGunViolence 1/2 https://t.co/TKugxeFlPt

Ms. Jarrett, you must have missed the memo. Law-abiding gun owners are registered and must go through background checks to obtain a firearm. The criminals who don’t go through these legal channels don’t do so because… THEY. ARE. CRIMINALS.

It's up to Congress to make background checks truly universal—the evidence shows that would save lives
Most Americans agree #StopGunViolence https://t.co/TKugxeFlPt

plug into local efforts that maybe start right at home in your community!

most countries were very supportive & advocates of #peace. America is #1 when it comes to gun violence. It has to end!

I’m curious who Castlin talked to in Rio.

.@Bradybuzz @vj44 Contact your representative. If all 90% of Americans who support background checks speak up, it could make a difference!

Why? So we can be like Australia?

*eye roll*

Of course, anti-gun groups had to join in on the conversation.

Any chance that #noflynobuy legislation could be brought up in a lame duck session? #StopGunViolence

Gotta give credit to our #2A lovers out there who high-jacked the hashtag.

Let's #StopGunViolence by putting more guns into the hands of law abiding citizens.

Why do you concentrate on regulating legally owned firearms when 99.99% of crime is committed using guns illegally owned? #StopGunViolence

Less than3% of legal gun owners commit crimes. Stop the rhetoric. Gun control never works for the criminal….ask Chicago #StopGunViolence pic.twitter.com/wBourseSYv

If a person is crazy/angry enough to kill someone, what makes you think they'll be worried about using a banned weapon? #StopGunViolence

What’s ironic? The most decorated Team USA Olympian is Kim Rhode, a trap and skeet shooter. She’s a six-time Olympic medial winner, three of which are gold. She’s also a six-time national champion in double trap. Currently, she holds the record as the most successful female Olympic shooter. Rhode is also the only woman to have won two Olympic gold metals for double trap.
