In my local news
And people think we don’t have a gun problem? A 13 yr old grabbing a gun to deal with a custody dispute??? Why wasn’t the gun locked away?

Other headlines in my area today
Food delivery man shot dead while delivering food.
Homeless man shot to death at homeless encampment
Man Charged for murder in music video shooting. Apparently he tried the Alec Baldwin defense. Claiming it was an accident.
And these were not the only ones.
