Hi, John- Today is the last day of October. Yes, it's Halloween. But more importantly, it's the last day of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Some 52 women a month are shot and killed by their romantic partners. How romantic is that? I can get pretty darned depressed thinking about the hideous intersection between guns and intimate partner and domestic violence. But then I remember my heroes--our nonstop grassroots state leaders. They work every day to keep women--and everyone else--safe from gun violence in their homes and in their communities. When I think about our state gun violence prevention leaders, I stop feeling scared and feel proud instead. Happy Halloween, everyone. Be safe.
