Everytown for Gun Safety
@everytown.bsky.social
We are a movement of parents, students, survivors, educators, gun owners & concerned citizens fighting to end gun violence and build safer communities.
https://everytown.org/
The reality is: People use guns to kill people. If more guns everywhere made us safer, America would be the safest country on earth—but it’s not.

This holiday season, be ready to debunk misinformation and disinformation about gun violence with facts. https://bit.ly/GunMyths

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.

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.

VICTORY: Maine voters passed a Red Flag law—also known as an Extreme Risk law. This is a crucial tool that helps prevent gun violence before it happens by allowing family members and law enforcement to intervene and temporarily limit access to guns when a person is a threat to themselves or others.

Abusers should never have access to guns. But right now, House Republicans are pushing for a dangerous, gun lobby-backed bill that would override state gun laws—making it easier for people like abusive dating partners to carry a concealed gun in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.

House Republicans are conspiring to pass this dangerous gun lobby-backed bill while the government is shut down—all while tens of millions of Americans are on the verge of losing access to SNAP.

People are allowed to concealed carry in all 50 states—but states have long held the power to decide who is too dangerous to carry a concealed weapon in public.

"My service is not your cosplay."

Gun companies are using taxpayer-funded military contracts to sell military-style assault weapons to civilians—and veterans are not here for it. See more ads just like these: https://smokinggun.org/report/turning-our-streets-into-war-zones/

While millions of Americans are dealing with everything from delayed veteran’s benefits to missed paychecks, House Republicans are working to let more people carry hidden, loaded guns in more places.

Netflix’s new documentary, “The Perfect Neighbor,” highlights the tragic reality of Shoot First laws. These laws—which the gun lobby calls “Stand Your Ground” laws to make them seem justifiable—have increased gun murders by up to 11% nationally, translating to more than 700 deaths each year.

Virginia can’t afford a governor who would rather cower to the gun industry than support basic gun safety measures that save lives. Ending gun violence isn’t about politics—it’s about public safety.

3D-printed firearms are the new frontier of our gun violence crisis.

Yesterday, we hosted a first-of-its-kind 3D-Printed Firearms Summit in NYC to bring together leaders across policy, law enforcement, academia, and the 3D-printing industry to find solutions for this growing problem.

Shantell Rock is among countless women in America who have been impacted by the devastating crisis of domestic gun violence. After seeking a restraining order against her abuser, Shantell learned he never should have had access to guns in the first place.
