Ahmaud Arbery was murdered for jogging in his neighborhood during a racially motivated hate crime. Two of the men involved now face life in prison, a third gets 35 years.
The death toll continues to climb from a mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Last year, over 1500 children and teenagers were killed by guns in the US. Enough is enough. Gun control legislation is needed to end senseless gun violence in America.
