House Republicans could force a vote on this deadly, gun lobby-backed bill as soon as the government reopens—we can’t let that happen.
Text GUT to 644-33 to tell your lawmakers in Congress: Don’t gut our gun safety laws. Oppose a federal concealed carry mandate.

Voters chose former Virginia Moms volunteer Abigail Spanberger as their next governor, and 13 of our Virginia volunteers were elected to the Virginia House—constituting 20% of the historic House majority.

Beyond Spanberger, women fuel a Democratic resurgence in Virginia

There’s a lot of misinformation and disinformation out there about our country’s gun violence crisis. The reality is: The US has a gun homicide rate 26x that of peer nations. That’s no coincidence—it’s the result of lax gun laws.

The facts don’t lie: A concealed carry mandate WOULD make our communities less safe by allowing people with dangerous histories to carry concealed guns in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.

Did you know: The Dept. of Defense has awarded billions of dollars to gun makers that sell virtual copies of their military weapons to civilians? These companies are exploiting military experience to sell some of the same guns that have been used in our nation’s deadliest mass shootings.

Red Flag laws—or Extreme Risk laws—are a crucial, life-saving tool that allows loved ones to intervene and prevent gun violence before it happens. But these laws only save lives if people who need them know that they exist and how to use them.

If someone’s too young to buy a beer, they shouldn’t be allowed to carry a hidden, loaded gun in public. But right now, House Republicans are pushing for a bill that would override state gun laws—making it easier for people under 21 to carry concealed guns in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.

According to @cnn.com, ATF reassigned 80% of its special agents—who normally investigate gun crimes and police the gun industry—to carry out the Trump Administration’s immigration “crackdown.”
This shift in priorities makes us all less safe, and will lead to more guns falling into the wrong hands.

Seven years ago today, a gunman armed with a Glock pistol opened fire on patrons at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, California, killing 12 people and wounding another. One of the fatal shooting victims, Telemachus Orfanos, survived the Route 91 Las Vegas shooting the previous year.
