Approximately 100,000 people are victims of gun violence annually in the United States, resulting in more than 31,000 deaths. In the aftermath of the mass killings in Newtown, Conn.; San Bernardino, Calif.; and now the June 12 massacre in the gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., the fight for gun violence protection being waged by two Highland Park Jewish women is gaining in intensity

| 2/3 are suicide. The latest figures are 250,000 killed by medical errors each year. Maybe you should start there and ban hospitals. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
