    The Democrats of the Red Rocks (DORR) will host “Inside the Existential Fight for Gun Violence Prevention” with Dr. Thomas Gabor, author and gun policy expert, and Teresa Neiberg, from Moms Demand Action, on Friday, May 19 at 9:30 am at the Sedona Community Center, 2615 Melody Lane in West Sedona and on zoom.

    Dr. Thomas Gabor is an international gun policy consultant and the co-author with Fred Guttenberg of the recently released book, “American Carnage: Shattering the Myths That Fuel Gun Violence.”  Mr. Guttenberg lost his daughter Jaime in the 2018 Parkland School shooting. He is the President of a criminal justice consulting firm based in Florida and served as a Professor of Criminology at the University of Ottawa, Canada from 1981-2011. In 2016, Dr. Gabor published the book “Confronting Gun Violence in America” and has been a speaker at events sponsored by Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, March for Our Lives, and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

    Before moving to Arizona from West Virginia in 2010, Teresa Neiberg was a career healthcare professional. While she had no intention of becoming involved in Arizona politics, she was motivated by the 2018 Parkland school shooting to become involved with Moms Demand Action, and she is now the organization’s Arizona Legislative lead activist, working with volunteers across the state to encourage our lawmakers to govern with gun safety as a top priority.

      It’s not “gun violence”. It’s PEOPLE VIOLENCE.

      A firearm is an inanimate object.

      Yeah and explosive don’t kill people either right? They’re inanimate objects as well right?

    We Have Been Thoroughly Trained!
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    Throughout the years, we have been trained. Part of the training is to see others as trained, but not ourselves. Even though we are the others that others are trained to see as trained, we tend to miss that little nuance. The training says we must know what’s right and speak out when we see something that runs contrary to our understanding of rightness. We don’t stop to realize that what we see as right isn’t exactly right or it would be the right version that everyone in their right mind knew as right. There are billions of versions of right but ours is the only real right one. Seems fishy, doesn’t it? We spend our days, our lives, catching others — the wrong ones — doing and saying things in support of their versions of right and our training has us jumping on the critical bandwagon lest we be painted in support of the wrong right. What in this crazy world moves us with such amazing force to crave rightness, to need to be seen as right? Read more→
