These kids were literally praying. Enough with “thoughts and prayers.” We can keep firearms out of the hands of those with a propensity of violence. Time to act.

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.

The worst mass killing in modern PA history was done with an AR-15. Since the national ban expired, sales skyrocketed & it’s become the mass shooter’s weapon of choice. Watch Dan’s story of barely surviving the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre Watch more at DeadlyByDesign.org.

We all want to keep our kids safe from gun violence at school. But there's a lot of misinformation out there about what actually works. Do you know what the evidence says? Test your knowledge on the myths vs. facts of school safety. ceasefirepa.org/quiz/

Heartbreaking & preventable. Even with a 22% reduction is shootings we are in the midst of a health crisis driven by ease of access to too many firearms! We can address this in a few ways, firstly by restoring the cuts to Violence Intervention and Prevention grants. @CeaseFirePA
