None of us - NONE OF US - are immune to our American epidemic of #gunviolence. Worse, the effects of the daily trauma on our children - on ALL of us - are nearly unimaginable.
We need hope.
Which means: we need change. What got us here, will not get us to a better space.

PS: I do a LOT of work with firearm owners, with communities affected by daily #gunviolence, and with communities affected by suicides.
It is worth highlighting that the extremist positions of a few, are not the beliefs of the many.

None of us want people who are hate-filled, intent on hurting themselves & others, and with a history of felonies to have access to a firearm.
None of us want this type of murder, to be glorified.
None of us want our public spaces to feel unsafe.

When we approach this as a #publichealth problem we can get at BOTH the root causes (why was a person driven to hurt themself or someone else) AND the proximal cause (the ability to access a firearm, at that moment).

I refuse to believe that we do not have hope.
The majority of this country - gun owners & non-gun owners alike - can and must join together and say "we must do better". 🙏
