All the gun violence prevention news that we could fit in this, a weekly wrap up for the week of October 13th to October 19th. This week, we're talking about a great gun violence prevention hero we lost, the latest democratic debate, the continuing carnage in Chicago, the dangers of road rage, gun violence prevention art in Rockefeller Center, teachers learning how to triage gunshot wounds, a strange, violent video played at a Trump fundraiser, and a glimmer of hope in the passage of the Prevent Family Fire Act. Yet again, it's been a painfully busy week.
