The Colorado House just passed a bill that would raise the minimum age to buy ammunition to 21 and require ammunition be sold by a vendor.

We urge lawmakers to push this crucial public safety measure forward to prevent ammunition from falling into the wrong hands.

When authorities worked to identify the victims of the Robb Elementary shooting, many could only be identified by their shoes. This heartbreaking reality inspired the exhibit “77 Minutes in Their Shoes." I'm grateful to be in Austin with other gun violence prevention leaders to see the exhibit.

The Lives Robbed panel discussions at “77 Minutes In Their Shoes” exhibit w/ gun violence prevention female leaders, Texas state legislators, teachers who survived 3 different school shootings, fathers whose daughters were taken in Uvalde, & artists were profound. One of the best in 12 years.

Gun violence is the NUMBER ONE cause of death for children and teens in the US.

Not car crashes. Not cancer. It's guns.

Schools should be sites of learning for our kids, not centers of carnage.

Madison police officers drilled on school shooting responses only two weeks ago… but this couldn't prevent the tragedy at Abundant Life Christian School.

The only way to do that is to pass commonsense gun laws. This year, Wisconsin passed ZERO.

Ghost guns are the weapons of choice for so many who threaten others—with more than 45,000 recovered at crime scenes between 2016 and 2021.

We can’t let these untraceable firearms continue to fuel violence in our communities.

Around the turn of the 20th century, per historians, white bigotry began eating away at the economic and political gains that Philadelphia’s Black community had made after the Civil War.

The exclusion had a “startling” impact on Philly’s Black homicide rate. It’s persisted for generations.
The Intergenerational Fallout of Gun Violence
In Philadelphia, gunfire has taken grandfathers, brothers, cousins, and children. The losses reflect the institutional racism at the root of America’s shooting epidemic.

Kindergartners.
We may as well start opening PTSD clinics now for all of the kids who will spend their entire lives with it because they are not safe.

Far too often, children are killed or injured when a gun is left unlocked and loaded.

On National Injury Prevention Day, we’re highlighting our volunteers who are working to protect our kids with secure storage. #GunOwnersforSafety #BeInjuryFree
