Great video. These priorities have been studied and have best chance of saving lives and getting vocal support from gun owners but I question if safe storage laws should also be included and emphasized. So many accidental as well as school shootings involve unsecured family guns.

🙏🏼 ProPublica,Isabelle Taft & Mississippi Today for your investigative work! Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto’s leadership must be held accountable— they chose to criminalize & traumatize mentally ill patients, leading some to die by suicide. Choosing profits over ethics.

But more importantly, there's a huge public interest in releasing the data! Congress passed DCRA precisely because they thought the public needed to know why people die in state custody. Additionally, the public has a right to know whether DOJ is doing what the law requires.

Each year an untold number of people die in jails across Pennsylvania. Next Monday, join Brittany Hailer & Joshua Vaughn and learn how they navigated public records to build Pennsylvania’s first-ever database of in-custody deaths. Register now! 👉 bit.ly/3Ron7oF 🖥️
