ILLINOIS RESIDENTS! Contact your state legislators to support HB5855 #ProtectIllinoisCommunitiesAct
"The Illinois proposal would not only ban assault weapons and large capacity magazines, but would also establish a federal-state partnership to stop the flow of illegal guns into Chicago from states with more lenient gun laws. In fact, 60% guns recovered by Chicago police come from outside Illinois."

@DrNicoleC My daughter lives overseas in a house with 8ft cement walls for fence topped with constatina wire and 24h guards, and her kids go to an international school with similar security. Safety is relative but every single day, I am happier about their safety there going to school than here. #StopGunViolence #ThisisMyLane

The number of gun-related deaths in a country is correlated to the number of guns per 100 people. This correlation holds even if the United States is removed from the data. Correlation does not always = causation. But research that is finally being conducted (20 year delay thanks to the Dickey Amendment), consistently shows that the # of guns is the problem. #ThisIsMyLane #FirearmEpidemic #Enough #ThisIsOurLane #EndGunViolence #PublicHealth #GunSense #Suicide #SuicidePrevention #MomsDemand

I know correlation does not equal causation. However, where the US lies on this graph of number of firearms vs. number of mass shooters is pretty striking. More evidence that our #gunviolence problem is because of the guns. #thisismylane #momsdemand #firearmepidemic #enough #massshooting #thisisourlane #

This man and his fellow bar patrons who stopped the shooting are heroes. But he thought he was "done with war". After two Bronze Stars and still being haunted by the experience of combat, does he really need to deal with this kind of violence?! Let's honor this man's service and bravery by demanding sensible gun safety laws. #MomsDemand #ThisisMyLane #gunfireepidemic #gunsafety

My lane: a resident, watching my mentor desperately try to save a 6 year old accidentally shot by his brother. When he knew it over, he stopped, held the boys hand and wept at the OR table as he died.
