John,
Today marks a year since the tragic mass shooting at a bowling alley and
bar in Lewiston, Maine, where eighteen people were killed and thirteen
more were injured.
This is the tenth-deadliest shooting in recent history, and like many
other mass shootings, the warning signs were there. The perpetrator was
well-known to law enforcement for months. They were told about his
potential for violence. His family and friends warned everyone from his
army supervisor to the local police that they were concerned about his
access to guns. They tried to do everything right.
And still, because of loose laws and loopholes, eighteen lives were taken,
thirteen people were injured, and a community is forever changed.
This was preventable. The fact that it happened is a massive failure
caused by our leaders’ inaction.
We need stronger background checks, red flag laws, and the multitude of
gun safety solutions that we know work. That’s the future we’re fighting
for.
We won’t forget Lewiston. We won’t forget the victims who died and were
injured in this senseless tragedy. We continue onwards for them.
In solidarity,
Team March For Our Lives
Today and every day we honor the lives lost in Lewiston, Maine on October
25, 2023.
