“It’s worth mentioning that the Virginia Tech shooting was far from the only time that survivors heard gunshots and knew they had to react quickly. More recently, in Alexandria, Va., members of Congress were practicing for the congressional baseball game when a gunman opened fire. Those who were there said that they, too, recognized the sound of gunshots, and knew to take cover in the dugout. Congress should put public safety first and vote against the SHARE Act. Lives are on the line.” – Everytown Survivor Network member Jeff Twigg in Say no to gun silencer bill. I survived Virginia Tech because I heard shots. [via usatoday.com]
