Texas teen at the supermarket accidentally opens the door to the wrong car. She’s shot.

Kansas City teen goes to get his little brothers and accidentally rings the doorbell of the wrong house. He’s shot.

Car full of teenagers looking for a party accidentally turns into the wrong driveway. They’re shot.

OH dad mistakes 16-y-o daughter for an intruder, shoots her. She died.

These stories happen every day in America and school security or mental health access won't solve them. Only #GunControl.

@Litzz11 Gun control is the no-brainer answer, but given the status of firearm ownership in the US and the cultural and constitutional issues around that it's not necessarily the *best* answer. A requirement for proportionality in response - yes, including for police - should be more achievable while being a game-changer. No stand your ground, no summary execution or burglars and thieves. Kill someone and you'd better be able to show it was a reasonable and proportionate response.

@outeast @Litzz11 The second amendment was literally worded to give states the right to arm their own military. It was written in a time when the US had disbanded its federal army. The only reason it is currently used to justify selling guns to as many people as possible is because a number of Supreme Court justices decided to ignore half of the words of the amendment itself.
