They refer to themselves as "gun safety advocates" but that is a lie designed to make themselves and their agenda sound better to the general public. This was even admitted to in an interview with the actor Matthew McConaughey.
Regarding the bolded, I actually agree with this. Mass shootings can potentially happen anywhere where there are people, even at like a mall in Indianapolis, or at a innocent graduation party in WV.
OHIO, USA — A local lawmaker said it's time to do something to bring an end to mass shootings and she's introduced legislation she believes can prevent the next mass shooting.
Gun safety advocates met with State Rep. Michele Grim (D, Toledo) Monday to discuss a proposed bill that could create a 180-day gun restriction for anyone who is deemed a threat to themselves or others.
Gun-safety advocate Erin Kramer said she wants her community to wake up and stay involved. She said mass shootings such as the one that happened in a Maine bowling alley and restaurant last Wednesday are reminders that this can happen anywhere.
"Seeing all of the shootings that have happened in our country, it really made me want to do something but now it's not so surprising anymore," Kramer said. "It used to be shocking and very surprising."

One concern I have with red flag laws that take away the guns but do nothing with the person is if the person is truly a danger to themselves or others why are they out in the public? If they want to commit mass murder they can murder people without an AR-15, and that is assuming they can't just go out and get more guns, legally or illegally, which is a huge false assumption. Another is no matter what the time period is, most of these don't just automatically expire, they go before a judge to has to decide whether to extend it or not. No judge who wants to get reelected is going to take the risk of not extending it for fear something might happen later.Investigators said Butler was warned about speeding in the area with children present before he left. He later returned with an AR-15-style firearm and began firing into the crowd before he was shot and killed.
“Instead of running from the threat, she engaged with the threat and saved several lives last night,” Charleston Police Department Chief of Detectives Tony Hazelett said.
Officers did not go into detail, but said Butler did have an extensive criminal history.
Hazelett said no charges will be filed against the woman.
