#GunViolence Tweets 12.4
These past couple of weeks have been filled with violence and mass shootings which are a common occurrence in America today. They enter and exit the mainstream media news cycle on a regular basis, creating outrage and sadness but little action to remedy the causes. Here are some words for the weekend on that note. Stay safe family and love one another.

The ugliest truth about the United States is that 44 people are murdered in our country every single day. 11,208 last year to gun violence

An American is murdered every 32 minutes. Not car accidents or deaths, but violent murder. A nation born, bred, and grown on violence.
