New research shows that children are more likely to be killed in mass shootings in their own homes than at school, and often by a parent or family member. Domestic violence and easy access to guns is a fatal combination, and children are paying the price.

Before folks start comparing this to European autocracies, pause and ask why so many folks - Black and white - didn’t know about the Tulsa Race Massacre. Or the Wilmington Coup. Or the Colfax Massacre. Or the Elaine, Arkansas massacre. Erasure has been a key tactic of white supremacy. Right here.
