This holiday season, as kids search for presents, they may find something far more dangerous. Guns are the leading cause of death for children in America. Secure your firearms and make safety the greatest gift of all.

American gun policy is so reckless that it’s fueling violence in other countries.
We export our guns. We export harm.

My heart breaks for the loss of Donovan Metayer, and my thoughts are with all who loved him.
He survived the Parkland shooting but trauma doesn’t end when the bullets stop. We owe it to Donovan and others we’ve lost to enact gun reforms so no one else has to carry this pain.

The Brown University shooter was found. And yet, little is fixed. Our country is awash in guns and a community is forever changed.
Survivors will carry fear into lecture halls, unimaginable grief, and trauma long after the cameras leave. This is the legacy of gun violence America keeps ignoring.

Pres. Trump talked a lot about being "tough on crime" in his lie-filled, racially charged address tonight. But no mention of guns. I wonder why?
Could it be that while the nation is reeling from another mass shooting, his deeply unpopular position remains that we need more guns everywhere?

This would prevent horrific tragedies like the Vegas shooting. It's used for many products.
But NRA-backed members of Congress are pushing legislation to block this tool.
