More on this soon-to-be-forgotten-and-then-repeated again tomorrow story as it develops.

Are you Pro-Life?
Guns killed more than 43,000 Americans last year.
Guns are the leading cause of death among American children and teens. (1 out of 10 gun deaths are age 19 or younger)
Americans are 25 times more likely to be killed in a gun homicide than people in other high-income countries.
We know the answer.
It's the guns.
If only we could stop it, like every other country in the world already has.

Reminder: Trump bragged just days ago at an NRA event about how he
did nothing on guns in the face of pressure following mass shootings.

Missouri has some of the nation’s loosest gun restrictions and one of the highest gun death rates in the country.
Since 2017, it has allowed people to carry concealed, loaded firearms in public ― no background check or permit required.
What could go wrong?

There were 800 "good guys with guns" at the parade and 20 people still ended up getting shot.

Fortunately, the NRA is slowly dying. They've lost tens of thousands of members, and they are bleeding cash to pay for their legal problems.

Unfortunately, they were wildly successful until now, and those successes will take a LONG time to unwind.

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.

George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.

These numbers tell the whole story.

We know the answer. It's the guns.
