A woman who survived a 2007 mass shooting in Utah said Thursday she has lead poisoning from 300 shotgun pellets still in her body, leaving her with debilitating headaches, nausea and other serious health problems.

Carolyn Tuft, whose 15-year-old daughter died in the Trolley Square mall shooting in Salt Lake City, has been unable to work, resulting in the loss of her home and business, she told The Associated Press.

Mary Anne Thompson, local chapter leader of Moms Demand Action, an organization pushing for stronger gun laws, has seen the effects on her friend. Tuft used to be a cyclist, hiker and runner. Once lead enters the body, it can travel through the bloodstream and affect vital organs like the kidneys, brain and heart, causing a litany of serious health issues. It can include kidney disease, depression, heart disease and suicidal thoughts, Filippelli said.

Good thing healthcare is free in Canada. No charge for bullet removal. Toronto: Yet even after a violent long weekend that saw an astounding 14 shootings with 17 injured, Chief Mark Saunders continues to downplay what is happening on his watch.

Demonrats are unhinged

Banning all guns after a mass shooting would be like banning all planes after 911. Eleven macro-level studies showed that crime rates increase gun levels (not vice versa). The reason that there is no opposite effect may be that most owners are noncriminals.

All harping on Trump What did Obama do in his time in office with the NRA? Or before him? Nothing!! Its their constitutional right to bear arms The president is a puppet on certain things.

Makes me terribly sad and sick too! How many more have to be murdered or disabled before the Trumps and their entourage do something!!

Remember when victims of the Boston bombings had shrapnel embedded into their skin?

Meanwhile let’s roll that propaganda film trump just released of his visit to the hospitals where mass shooting victims were being treated

Good thing this is Canada.
