We send our heartfelt condolences to anyone who lost a loved one.<\/p>\n<p>In response to this horrifying attack, Safe Horizon CEO Ariel Zwang offers the following statement:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Thoughts and prayers alone aren\u2019t enough. It\u2019s time for action. This national crisis must be addressed now.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latest media reports show that the gunman had recently sent threatening texts to his mother-in-law, who attends the church where the shooting took place. Available research shows us that most mass shootings involve domestic and family violence\u2014between 2009 and 2016, more than half of all mass shootings in the U.S.A. targeted a current or former intimate partner or family member.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/texas-church-shooting-domestic-violence_us_5a0095f7e4b04cdbeb351cd0?ncid=engmodushpmg00000004\">Under the Lautenberg amendment,<\/a> the gunman\u2019s prior conviction of a \u2018bad conduct discharge\u2019 from the military for an assault against his spouse and a child should have barred him from legally purchasing firearms. On Monday, the Air Force said that it failed to record the shooter\u2019s domestic violence conviction in a federal database that would have kept him from buying a gun.<\/p>\n<p>CEO Zwang continues: \u201c<em>He should never have had access to a gun. It\u2019s time to not only strengthen our gun <\/em>laws,<em> but to also make sure they are enforced as written. Far too many lives have been lost as a result of mass shootings. Each victim leaves behind loved ones who will never be the same. Congress can no longer wait to act. Safe Horizon calls on our federal lawmakers to enact meaningful and common sense solutions to this epidemic of gun violence now.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Safe Horizon CEO Ariel Zwang responds to recent gun violence in Sutherland Springs, Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":{"id":5015,"alt_text":"Safe Horizon Responds to Recent Gun Violence in Texas","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1300,"height":866,"file":"2017\/11\/Safe-Horizon-Responds-to-Recent-Gun-Violence-in-Texas.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"Safe-Horizon-Responds-to-Recent-Gun-Violence-in-Texas-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Safe-Horizon-Responds-to-Recent-Gun-Violence-in-Texas-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"Safe-Horizon-Responds-to-Recent-Gun-Violence-in-Texas-300x200.jpg","width":300,"height":200,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Safe-Horizon-Responds-to-Recent-Gun-Violence-in-Texas-300x200.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"Safe-Horizon-Responds-to-Recent-Gun-Violence-in-Texas-768x512.jpg","width":768,"height":512,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Safe-Horizon-Responds-to-Recent-Gun-Violence-in-Texas-768x512.jpg"},"large":{"file":"Safe-Horizon-Responds-to-Recent-Gun-Violence-in-Texas-1024x682.jpg","width":1024,"height":682,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Safe-Horizon-Responds-to-Recent-Gun-Violence-in-Texas-1024x682.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":null,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Safe-Horizon-Responds-to-Recent-Gun-Violence-in-Texas.jpg"},"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2013],"tags":[607,294],"class_list":["post-5017","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-statements-and-press-releases","tag-gun-control","tag-gun-violence","issue-victims-of-other-abuse"],"acf":{"page_header_title":"","page_header_image":false,"original_url":"","related_initiative_title":"How do we help survivors of crime?","related_initiative_link":"\/get-help\/victims-of-other-abuse\/","related_initiative_link_text":"Learn about our services","featured_posts":[{"ID":1380,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2016-06-10 00:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2016-06-10 00:00:00","post_content":"<img style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safehorizon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/1433949377_Flowers-at-Grave-1.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"388\" \/>\r\n\r\n*Dolores and *Philip were looking forward to their daughter *Melissa\u2019s high school graduation.
