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.

Huge thank you to @JohnWoodrowCox for joining us on the @bradybuzz podcast to talk about his new book, "Children Under Fire."

We are failing our children if we do not change our nation's weak gun laws. Pleases give this episode a listen. #EndGunViolence bradyunited.org/podcast/episod…
A big part of our conversation was about safe firearm storage — which too often is not a part of the conversation around gun violence.

Yet every day in America, 8 kids are killed due to "family fire," or a shooting involving an improperly stored or misused gun. @EndFamilyFire
.@JohnWoodrowCox told us he sent his book to members of Congress — hoping they'd understand the apolitical importance of safe storage laws.

"It's baffling to me that there's very few people saying, 'Hey, why don't we just lock up the guns that we have?'" #EndFamilyFire
