Gun Control Reform Activism

Gun violence will touch one in three of us, if not personally through someone we know. An acquaintance kept a .22 in his bedside table. His teenage daughter, going through a rough time emotionally, used it to shoot herself in the chest. Missed the heart but pretty much ruined a lung. His military training taught him how to deal with a sucking chest wound so she survived. To add insult to injury the police had to bag his hands, covered in his little girl's blood, as exclusionary evidence.

One in three. That's a 100,000,000 people. You'd think someone in congress would pay attention.
