Seminar: Active Shooter Threat and Response with Ed Monk

6:00am Friday, December 15, 2023
For more than 40 years, the U.S. has been failing to respond effectively to active shooters.

by Larry Keane
6:00am Thursday, November 09, 2023

That explains why Brady United for Gun Control’s recent announcement that they’re bringing on Hollywood executives and producers to help sell gun control makes perfect sense.
