Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence’s Post

#IntimatePartnerViolence #DomestivViolenceAwareness #ContentWarning DV, Gun violence, discussion about abuse Too often people involved with someone abusive to them have a more common space where they experience abuse. Either with friends and/or family, more often it's coming out, even academic and/or workplace settings. The familiarity with a partner's abusive behavior becomes common and too often the abused person (people) adapt to the behavior. Adapting, too often, is necessary at an early age. At times, when addressing the behavior can result in additional harm. Learning when and how to address harmful behaviors becomes a survival skill. This fact regarding gun violence speaks to the minimization of danger that abused people must live with everyday. It also points out that culturally, the US also minimizes the danger, and acts with no urgency in response to people that harm their partners and loved ones. #Gunviolence #Massshootings #Educationalpost

There is an undeniable link between mass shootings and domestic violence. Over two-thirds (68%) of mass shootings in the U.S. between 2014 and 2019 were either domestic violence attacks or perpetrated by someone with a history of domestic violence. To protect survivors and our communities, we must ensure abusers don’t have access to firearms.
