This is why MD passed our #ERPO law in 2018. When family, police, or docs are concerned someone may be a danger to themselves or others, this order temporarily removes their firearms until they are safe again.
But it does not work if no one knows about the law. Spread the word 🚩

A Texas OB-GYN recently had to tell a woman that her fetus had anencephaly — a condition where the baby doesn't have a brain. It's always fatal, and patients are typically given the option to terminate.
Except now the state's law prohibits it.

DFA mourns 8 people slain in Georgia yesterday. Our country needs strengthened background checks + safe storage laws. DFA promotes anti-racism education + creation of a National Bureau for Firearm Injury Prevention to implement a long term, public health based strategy.

Today has shown police don’t need de-escalation training, they choose who to escalate on, that’s not a training issue. Police don’t need unconscious bias training, they are conscious of their bias.
