It was a win for democracy in Indiana today, but read the last sentence in this quote by a state Senator. Then read it again. I can only hope the tide is turning—and that people doing the right thing don’t get killed in the process.

An analysis of the K-12 School Shooting Database by The Trace found that over 99% of shootings at high school sporting events weren’t preplanned—most began as disputes that escalated. When people bring guns into these spaces, conflicts can turn deadly. More guns in more places do NOT make us safer.

This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.
