"On October 8, 2022, Harris attempted to purchase a weapon from a licensed dealer in St. Charles, Missouri, but was denied because of a failed FBI background check. Harris then purchased the AR-15 style rifle used in the shooting from a private individual. No law prevented the private sale."

Family pleaded to have assault rifle seized before deadly school shooting. Officers had few options

Orlando Harris’ family pleaded with police to confiscate the 19-year-old’s bullet-proof vest, ammunition and AR-15-style rifle. But with no red-flag law in Missouri, the best officers could do is suggest Harris keep the weapons in a storage unit. Nine days later, he entered his former St. Louis high school and declared, “All of you are going to die.” A new 456-page police report details the family’s efforts in the days leading up to the Oct. 24, 2022, shooting that left a student and teacher dead. Seven others also were wounded before police fatally shot Harris.

These are the active shooter instructions for my son’s infant daycare room.

This sheet of paper is supposed to protect him. It won’t. But, to be fair, neither will the people who actually could.

Another mass shooting in the US.

You can not change toxic gun culture while gun ownership is a right.

It is not a huge leap for folks to go from "I have the right to own a gun" to "I have the right to use a gun".

"When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail".
