Parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting urged the Supreme Court to uphold an assault-rifle ban.
The amicus brief comes ahead of a major case that will test the constitutionality of state laws barring the sale of the rifle. wapo.st/4jNbQNx

Taking a break from regularly scheduled programming to speak on the heaviness of this last week after the Silver Rail Elementary shooting. A message from me and my wife Emily:
Our hearts have been heavy beyond words this week. Our family has direct ties to Silver Rail and spends a significant amount of time in Bend every year. We in the Annunciation family have been afforded immense support and resources, and we ask that you consider sharing that generosity with Silver Rail. My wife Emily will be posting in the comments the local fundraisers that we are aware of.
As parents who were running into our children’s school when a shooting took place, we will also make a plug here to know of and contribute to the work of Sandy Hook Promise. They have developed methods that have actively prevented shootings: sandyhookpromise.org/
And as we say, when you pray move your feet.
With immense love for our family and friends in the Silver Line community and Bend,
Aaron and Emily

Twelve people were injured in a shooting near Florida A&M University during homecoming weekend, including six young people.
Homecoming should be about celebration, community, and school pride. Not gun violence.

This #NationalBullyingPreventionMonth, know the warning signs and how to help.
Bullying doesn’t always show up in words. Changes in a child’s mood, behavior, friendships, or routines may signal that something is wrong.

A 3-year-old boy in Caldwell County, North Carolina, was injured after accessing a loaded firearm that had been left unsecured on a bedroom desk.
We must all come together to prevent children from having access to loaded firearms in their homes.
