A woman who survived an attack at a July Fourth parade in Highland Park, Illinois, last year pleaded for gun safety legislation when she unexpectedly stepped into a press conference about the latest school shooting in Nashville on Monday.

Beasley was at the parade shooting with her son last year when seven people were killed. She said she has since met with more than 100 lawmakers trying to get gun safety laws passed.

“We can't even pass gun safety — safe storage laws in this country to protect kids from getting ahold of weapons that they shoot each other with,” she said. “Aren't you tired of this?” In an opinion article for NBCNews.com on Oct. 26, 2022, before the mid-term elections, she wrote: “Gun violence happens so often that if it hasn’t affected you directly, it can be easy to become jaded by the horrific details that emerge after a mass shooting.”

“For survivors like me, that’s not possible. At some point, something inside of me snapped. And it’s the same feeling I hope moves every voter, particularly those fortunate enough not to know the grief of losing a loved one or watching the innocence of a child vanish, into action.”

The guns were purchased legally. If you want to stop mass shooting, pass constitutional carry..
