One student who evacuated responds with anger that these threats of gun violence at schools should not be ignored and action is needed!

PEACEFUL protest should not be threatened by violence.
We do not know the motives of this shooter, or MN assassin. But we do know the vitriol by the current administration doesn’t help and certainly adds fuel to the hate.

The 2023 CO state law changed the minimum age to purchase guns to 21 from 18.
👏🏽👏🏽
This is an important ruling as our 2024 MA law Raise the Age to 21 for Firearms Purchase is being challenged in the courts by the Gun Owners Action League.
