Very early stages of this but here are some upsides:
1) an extreme risk protection order was used to remove guns
From a possible accomplice’s house
2) someone suspected something and said something
3) a terrible tragedy was avoided

Thoughts:
1) these kids are in crisis and need serious mental help
2) the kids in the school should have access to counseling
3) regarding the fi****ms….how were they stored when confiscated and should that warrant penalties or license suspensions?

We have to do better.

As this story develops we should be asking:

1) Where did a fifteen year old get this gun?
2) Was this firearm properly secured?
3) Did no one see this child was struggling?
4] Was there no way to get him academic help?
5)Were there warning signs ignored?

We have to do better for our kids. The youth su***de rate is skyrocketing and gun su***des comprise 2/3 of the gun violence statistics.

We invite you to go to one of our partner’s websites for a very informative digital pamphlet on ways you can be a lifesaver even if you do not have a firearm and tips on how to recognize people in crisis.

It is more than obvious as these incidents continue that we need to treat a firearm as the true threat it can be. It is true that people kill people but when we have numerous states in the US that do not regulate their fi****ms properly we are responsible for many violent actions using fi****ms.

Go here to see what states have the lowest homicide rates and you will see how powerful strong gun laws are. Where does your state rank?

Today we are thankful for all the groups local and nationwide that make a difference in their communities. It is only through all these initiatives that we arrive at the country we want to be.

Congratulations to Maine on their passage of a red flag law. Joining 21 other states across the country who have red flag laws, this law allows family members to file a petition and go to court to remove a firearm from someone who they feel is a danger to themselves or others.

This law is two years in the making and is the result of the Lewiston shooting and the persistent efforts of advocates who knew there was a better way.

Well done.

More than 20 states have a red flag law.
