11 people were killed after a gunman opened fire in #MontereyPark and 7 were killed in #HalfMoonBay.

In this moment of grief and frustration, I’ll explain the whole scope of these recent tragedies and what we can do to prevent them. 🧵
The nation was rocked when CA had to deal with two mass shootings just one day apart from each other.

This tragedy comes days after brand new CDC data crunched by @bradybuzz shows 2021 had the most mass shootings and gun deaths in recorded U.S. history.

Every day in America, +300 people are shot.

Some of these tragedies make the news, but most of them do not.

They include unintentional shootings, domestic violence, suicide and more.

My work focuses on community violence, which can actually be reduced significantly without changes to gun laws or regulations. But with the victims of #MontereyPark and #HalfMoonBay in our minds and hearts, let's not kid ourselves...
... all forms of gun violence - including suicides, accidents, domestic homicides, and mass shootings - would be easier to prevent with commonsense restrictions to accessing deadly firearms on the books.
There is no perfect policy out there, no single solution. But if we made some obvious changes to our laws, we could make it far harder for criminals, terrorists, abusers, and potential mass murderers to access the weapons they want.
