The Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence created "The Gun Violence History Book," filled with facts and newspaper articles highlighting the repetitive nature of gun violence. Symbolically designed to "stop a bullet," the book features 19 milestones to educate readers on the importance of common-sense gun regulations, such as universal background checks. Distributed to legislators, displayed in public spaces, and used in schools, this initiative aims to enlighten Americans on past tragedies to prevent future occurrences.
