With the political violence of the Charlie Kirk killing, there are Tucsonans remembering what its like when a gunman targets a political gathering.
A man with a gun shot 19 people at a community gathering hosted by then Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords. Six people died.
When people at the scene tackled the gunman, Patricia Maisch
was able to take away his extra ammunition.
She feels mental illness is no more common in the US than other countries, but guns are much more common:
It doesn't matter what party you're from. My condolences go to Charlie Kirk's family and his friends and his associates, and it's just horrifying every time this happens. It doesn't have to happen. We don't have to live this way. We just need to make some national regulations.
