Highland Park Mother Visiting Nashville Delivers Plea for Gun Safety After Deadly School Shooting

A Highland Park mother who survived last summer's Fourth of July parade mass shooting addressed reporters on the scene of, pleading for lawmakers to pass gun safety laws in hope of reducing mass shootings.

Ashbey Beasley said she and her son were on vacation in Nashville, visiting her sister-in-law, when she was informed of the shooting at The Covenant School, and she then headed to the scene. Three adults and three children were killed early Monday by a 28-year-old woman who was armed with two assault-style rifles and a handgun, authorities said. A motive wasn't immediately clear.

As reporters wrapped up a press conference with law enforcement, Beasley walked over to their microphones and said,"Aren't you guys tired of being here and having to cover all these mass shootings?" "I’m from Highland Park, Illinois," she explained."My son and I survived a mass shooting over the summer."Since the July 4th mass shooting that killed seven people and injured dozens of others, Beasley has been lobbying for gun protections in Washington D.C. and has met with more than 100 lawmakers in pursuit of gun safety laws."How is this still happening?" she stated.

This might be silly, but treat schools like embassies put some good Marines not a whole platoon or nothing just a few have a few cops around as well, and have them protect and serve Americans. Protect our children, future if this was Wall Street, this would be a bad investment

Lame

How convenient for her
