Weekend Gun Report: Presidents Day Edition [View all]

"Evolve, an organization that hopes to reach both gun owners and non-gun owners and change the cultural norms around gun behavior―much like Mothers Against Drunk Driving changed the norms around drinking and driving―has released a cheeky new ad which imagines the Second Amendment being written to incorporate a sense of personal responsibility.

Here is today’s report:

- Friday (40 incidents, 16 fatalities)

- Saturday (42 incidents, 20 fatalities)

- Sunday (56 incidents, 21 fatalities)

- Monday (26 incidents, 6 fatalities)
