update:
On Nov 10, Facebook removed the posts and memes of the vile troll who was harassing Kate, our brave gun violence survivor who has the guts to stand tall for her beliefs. We respect Americans who in the face of threats from minions of evil corporations (and the don't come more evil than the arms industry) stand tall. Stay strong Kate, we are united to see gunsense return to America.
original post:
Kate Ranta was gunned down by her enraged estranged husband along with her father, with her son watching. As a result of this horrific experience, and in light of the proliferation of gun violence in America, she has become vocal in the gun control movement. As a result of her speaking out, she is now targeted by NRA "trolls." Below is a link to one example of such harassment. The photo is of Kate on the anniversary of the shooting. And the trolls used it for hate.
Gun violence and the omnipresence of guns in public put Americans at risk daily. Guns Kill Too is devoted to increasing awareness that guns are deadly, guns in the hands of untrained owners are hazardous and even it the hands of trained officers accidents happen at an alarming rate. (see recent compilation post.) The effort to restore sane gun laws in America is a moral calling. Gun control is a fight to save lives. The vehement rage against this innocent woman is vile and against the principles of the first amendment. These people present a huge threat to America, and their terrorist cells must be tracked down and exposed for what they are.
This harassment of Kate is implicitly condoned by Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook. Despite Kate's copyright protection as stated in FB's policies, Zuckerberg refuses to address the harassing post. (again it is below to view.)
If you agree this behavior is unacceptable, please post on FB support of Kate Ranta. And tweet to Zuckerberg about it. Below is a FB post you could copy and paste if you are the most wonderful person in the world!
I appreciate, and gun violence survivors thank you for reading this and Guns Kill Too. Please share Guns Kill Too, and help spread the word we are in danger. That we have had enough of the bullying of the NRA and it's trolls, and we want a country in which it is safe to go in public without fear of being shot.

Hey Mark Zuckerberg the troll site gunfree zones=crime spree zones' harassment of Kate Ranta goes unstopped by your NRA sympathizers at FB? Even tho according to policy she owns the copyright on the pic. She is a brave survivor of a horrific act of patriarchal gun violence and these NRA scum accuse her of deserving being shot. They torment her for speaking her mind. And Zuckerberg implicitly condones this nazi behavior by his inaction. SHAME ON MARK ZUCKERBERG. THIS IS ONE EVERYONE SHOULD SHARE.
Thanks for reading,
Marc Newton
