Below is a catch-up of the significant events of this past week. You can check in with a minimal time commitment, read about the big stuff, and stay in the know before we’re on to the next. Also, I would encourage you to scroll through my Twitter feed for the week for more detail on any essential topics that I don’t mention here. I will discuss the issues in quick snippets with links attached to provide you with more access to information on the subject. 

In the last week, there were nine separate mass shooting incidents in the US where 19 people were killed and 34 were injured. I will be documenting all mass shooting incidents for the week every Sunday, so please take a moment to review them and remember to keep up the fight for sensible gun restriction reform.
