Austria Moves to Tighten Gun Laws After Deadly School Shooting
www.nytimes.com
Austria is showing the world what action looks like.
It took leaders just two weeks after a horrific school shooting to make steps to prevent tragedies and save lives.
How many more school shootings will it take for America to change our deadly status quo?

There’s plenty of evidence that guns in the home make women less safe. Yet extremists are attempting to exploit women’s fear to overturn #MA gun laws.
More guns and more fear aren’t a plan to keep women safe. They’re a complete failure and the only people who benefit are gun industry executives.

The group trying to repeal the state’s gun safety laws are appealing to women. It might also help sell more guns.
