Schools are adding pepper-spraying drones to help combat active shooters

The plastic, nonlethal aircraft, which can smash windows and ram attackers, will be at the ready in a handful of schools in Florida, Georgia and Colorado.

This weekend, communities across our nation were once again shattered by gun violence. In just one weekend, there were 10 mass shooting incidents in 9 cities across 9 states. Six people were killed and 51 more were wounded by gunfire. And yet, there was little to no national news coverage.

💔💔💔 Guns do not make us safer. Guns in our homes double our risk for homicides and triple our risk for suicides. Women are 5X more likely to be killed if a domestic abuser is armed.

I hate that we all suffer because so many Americans still believe Republicans are better suited to manage the economy when there is zero evidence that is true.
