While we keep #LasVegas in our thoughts and learn more about the shooter let's remember some things we already know about #GUNviolence
Since 1970 more Americans have died from #GUNviolence than in all wars dating back to the American Revolution /2
Every day, some 92 Americans die from guns /3
American children are 14x as likely to die from guns as children in other developed countries, according to David Hemenway of Harvard /4
There have been more than 1500 mass shootings since Sandy Hook /5
According to researchers at SUNY Oswego and TSU, the US has more mass shootings than 10 other developed countries combined /6
#MassShootingsAreAWomensIssue Domestic violence is one of the most common causes of mass shootings and one of the biggest links in shooters
The most common indicator of mass shootings is DV vox.com/first-person/2…

#GunControlIsAWomansIssue A gun in the home makes DV 5x deadlier thetrace.org/2016/08/15-fac…
#GunViolenceIsAPublicHealthIssue Legally the CDC can't even study gun violence to help learn how to prevent it motherjones.com/politics/2017/…
abcnews.go.com/Health/cdc-lau…
#GunViolenceIsALiabilityIssue The gun industry currently enjoys unique immunity from lawsuits & liability protection americanprogress.org/issues/guns-cr…
The PLCAA protects the gun industry from normal liability suits that allow legal protections to consumers
While complicated, there are some #gunsense measures that can be passed now to prevent mass shootings & gun violence nytimes.com/2017/10/02/opi…
Universal background checks, assault weapons bans, gun confiscation for those w/ DV charges, scientific research could prevent #GUNviolence
Even now republicans in congress is working to remove gun regulations like making it easier to buy silencers everytownresearch.org/h-r-367-is-dan…
Silencers make it easier for a shooter to get away and harder to locate the shooter in a mass shooting situation
For more information and to get involved follow @Everytown @Bradybuzz @MomsDemand #GunControlNow #GUNviolence #gunsense
Three ways to help #LasVegas now are to donate blood, donate money, and contact your reps newsweek.com/las-vegas-shoo…

1. @staceyabrams “we are a mighty nation because we embedded in our national experiment the chance to fix what is broken. To call out what has faltered. To demand fairness wherever it can be found."
2. "Which is why on Election Night, I declared that our fight to count every vote is not about me. It is about us. It’s about the democracy we share and our responsibility to preserve our way of life. Our democracy – because voting is a right and not a privilege." - Stacey Abrams
3. "I stand here today as witness to that truth. This election is about all of us – as is the resolution of this moment. I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the 2018 gubernatorial election."
- Stacey Abrams

CA Dems declined to endorse @SenFeinstein for senate this past weekend calling for "new blood." Before we dismiss the 84 year old senator who broke gender barriers by becoming the first woman senator from California, let's look at Dianne Feinstein's long history #ImWithDianne
Dianne Feinstein began her career in 1970 when she was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. She was the 1st female president of the board in 1978 when Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk were assassinated. Feinstein discovered Milk's & and announced his death
Feinstein succeeded Moscone as Mayor of San Francisco as the 1st woman to hold that position. In 1992 Feinstein & Barbara Boxer were elected to the senate on the same ballot. They were the 1st women CA senators. In 2012 she claimed the record for the most popular votes w/ 7.75m

The last 24 hours of Cohen coverage feels like strong evidence for the idea that Trump's vulnerability doesn't like in some bombshell new information.

He is most vulnerable when the things we already know grab the nation's attention.

1/
Nearly every piece of information about Cohen and the Trump Tower Moscow was revealed by @BuzzFeed's @a_cormier_ and @JasonLeopold months ago. But it took the plea deal for the news to pop.

There are many other such already known items out there that WILL pop one day.

🇺🇸⛪️✝️❤️THREAD ~ Special Sunday ~ Veteran's Day. Extraordinary, goosebumps. Even the smallest details may be important to someone, so I'll try my best to remember it all. Spiritual - philosophical - serendipitous in ways that are hard to chalk up as coincidence. Ready for church?
2) I'll first say: Something *HUGE* is impending - it will happen soon. I'm guessing that 100% of my followers have an awareness of this. PRAY. We will be ok. We will emerge from this stronger, better, and ready for a spiritual, creative, and intellectual awakening, a new world!
3) Next, let me remind you - and for those new to these threads - the church schedule for Bible readings is planned years in advance. Someone could try to sync predicted events alongside this calendar, or vice versa. Or, they are serendipitous, divine, coincidental. You decide.

“Isn’t that discriminatory?” Yoongi wondered, scrolling through job listings. He’d been reading aloud some of the more interesting ones to Namjoon across the diner table from him.
“Not necessarily,” Namjoon said, tapping away at his laptop. “But it doesn’t sound like the kind of job you’d want though. If they have a subgender preference then they’re probably really picky about everything.”

Over the past 2 days, hundreds of doctors have shared heartbreaking accounts of how #gunviolence is a #publichealth issue. These are the stories of #docs4gunsense ... May their words make a difference.

The result of a bullet ricocheting inside the skull and destroying the brain on CT scan. The worst trauma I have seen. GUNS ARE A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE – Gen Geller MD, NY #docs4gunsense @drgenngeller
The damage a bullet does to a 1 year old brain as it ricochets back and for. The guilt the family feels. The sadness we all feel.

We've had a very productive first couple weeks in our writer's room. Some thoughts on breaking story that have coalesced for me that you may find helpful:
1) Work big to small storywise: You're building a house. Don't start working on the fixtures until you're sure that's where the bathroom goes.
2) You'll know ideas work because they inherently spin out smaller, interesting character moments.
3) Good story creates more story. When you're going in the right direction track starts to lay out in front of you.
4) When you're going in the wrong direction it feels like a slog. If you spend a suitable amount of time grinding gears, reassess.
