Only in America:
A woman from Lakeland, FL fearing for her life, took her husband’s guns & brought them to the police. She was arrested for armed burglary of a dwelling & grand theft of a firearm. In America, ~50 women are shot & killed by an intimate partner each month. https://t.co/VF8dyWBdyj

Within the past week, a Sacramento cop was murdered. The rookie cop was helping a woman move out of a domestic violence situation. The shooter had a lengthy police record, including several times when the guy was required to hand over guns to the authorities because of restraining orders.
There’s one great predictor for whether someone will use guns to kill people - domestic violence.The GOP/NRA continue to block any reasonable acts to reduce gun violence, especially as it relates to this.
