"A study recently published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons found that states that restricted abortion access from 2018 to 2020 had a 75 percent higher rate of peripartum homicide...than states without restrictions...Firearms were used in 63 percent of all peripartum homicides. These statistics underscore the connection between reproductive rights, domestic violence and gun violence in the United States."
Thurs, the #Biden admin announced they are closing what is known as the #"GunShowLoophole," by tightening up the definition of what it means to be "engaged in the business" of selling #firearms.
The #ATF has just implemented a change in the federal register language, which was previously more specific to who was selling guns, & the agency did it in accordance w/the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, passed in 2022.
By being more specific & precise in the definition, #Biden admin ofcls on a call w/reporters said it would require more people to register for a federal selling #license & run a background check on the person they are selling to.
#POTUS said in a statement he has spent time w/people who lost loved ones to #GunViolence, & that he is taking action to make sure fewer guns are sold w/o #BackgroundChecks.
“Parents of #Michigan school shooter were each sentenced to at least 10 years in prison Tue for failing to take steps that could have prevented the killing of 4 students in 2021.

“Two people are dead following a #shooting at a law office in the Summerlin area of #LasVegas Monday morning, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said Monday.
The male suspect is also dead after taking his own life, Sheriff Kevin McMahill said during a news conference.“ #GunViolence
#GunViolence🔫 DECREASED, this program worked, funds were allocated to a community-based violence intervention to mediate conflict. LE didn't need additional funding -it's likely why it's not well known *saved lives & money in the LT.
Richmond, homicides:
2007: 47
2023: 8
Implemented Advance Peace in 2007, a program that treats urban gun violence as a PH crisis.
For every$ spent on the program -public received $47-$123 in return in Stockton, $18-$41 in Sacramento.
What if mass shootings were reported the way vehicular manslaughter is reported?
Headline: 13 People Dead and 4 Injured After They Collided With Bullets.
Story: According to police 13 people died and 4 were taken to the hospital after they collided with bullets at a café on Main Street.
A 22 year old male was walking past the café and his gun began to fire bullets at the café. Several bullets hit the café damaging a coffee machine before more bullets hit some of the diners in the café. According to the police, none of the diners were wearing bulletproof vests or military body armor when they ran into the bullets.
Of the 13 dead, 9 died at the scene and 4 died later at the hospital. The 4 injured diners were treated for non-fatal wounds and released from the hospital.
The 22 year old male gun owner is uninjured and returned to his home very shaken by the incident.
“Authorities have issued a shelter-in-place order following the #shooting of multiple people in a suburban #Philadelphia township.
Middletown Township police said Saturday morning that there were “confirmed shootings” in neighboring Falls Township that resulted in “several gunshot victims.”

Die logische Lösung wäre dann, Mütter mit 2 Schusswaffen auszustatten, Großmütter mit 4,... Daughters of the American Revolution (gibt Bonuspunkte) mit 100.
D., der lieber gar nichts davon hätte. Gehirn einschalten könnte das meiste verhindern. Überhaupt Gehirn.
An investigation into a Texas school shooting has cleared local police officers despite acknowledging a series of failures in the response to the 2022 attack that left 19 children and two teachers dead
“2nd parent…man who purchased a gun w his son 4 days before #Michigan school shooting is headed to trial, accused of failing to take steps that could have prevented the teen from killing 4 students & wounding others.
With SCOTUS making guns readily accessible to even the mentally ill and domestic abusers, the justices should get their own guns and defend themselves.
