Springfield has the highest Domestic Violence rate in Missouri. Nationally Missouri is second only to Alaska for its per-capita rate of men killing women. Why?
* 25% Poverty Rate
* Rigid Gender Roles
* Easy access to Firearms @MomsDemand@Everytown#MOleg bit.ly/32MtR6i
"Firearm homicides & suicides increased dramatically across (Missouri) From 2008 to 2017, gun homicides rose 57%...suicides increased 59%."
"Over 1/2 of Mass Shooters in the US are also Domestic Violence Perpetrators"
