We don’t stop and think about this, we say they’re lucky they weren’t killed. I felt that way until the Vegas shooting, when I started reading about the devastating injuries suffered by the shooter’s victims.
So if you should see a GoFundMe or someone collecting to help with their medical expenses, it’s a good idea. AR-15s inflict life-changing injuries.
This one in Lewiston, Maine. 22 dead, 50-60 injured. White man with an AR-15? Check. History of domestic violence? Likely.
TRAGIC: 22 people are reported dead and 60 injured by the #Lewiston, Maine gunman.
This is a photo of the shooting suspect — please share and help law enforcement identify this mass murderer.
Prayers to all affected 💔#EndGunViolence pic.twitter.com/3KdgqkV5A3

Meanwhile, Sean Hannity is saying his personal protection is his training in mixed martial arts. Yeah, that’ll work against an AR-15.

Most people know her as the mother of the girl with the green sneakers, but she is also a relentless activist against guns. Send her money if she asks:
