Read my open letter to the author Malcolm Gladwell - who made a comment that assault weapons ban is a “stupid waste of time” & these laws “don’t ban anything” & dismissed them as an “absurd sideshow”. Please share to make sure he sees my letter. Thank you! pomurray1.substack.com/p/an-open-le...

GOP candidate for Governor Ryan Fazio is attending Pistols & Politics to fundraise. The event advertises “Bring your own firearm, ammunition, eye & ear protection.” Guns have no place in our politics, no place in our campaigns, and should never be used as fundraising tools.

When hate is given free rein- we all pay. If you haven’t been personally harmed, assume it is just not yet. Every death hurts us all. Make it stop. Push love and acceptance. Call your elected ‘leaders’ and demand they help change the course of this place!
