40% of homes have a firearm.
Kids know where they are.
Asking “are they locked up” can save lives.

Asking “are they locked up” can save lives.
Summer means more time at home for kids—and, sadly, a spike in firearm injuries.
Medical providers: now’s the time to ask about gun storage.
Conversations about secure storage can prevent unintentional shootings and suicides during these high-risk months.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

Hard to put outrage on a scale but this has to be near the very top. Why? Just why? Dishonoring the memories of the 48,000 Americans who did from gun violence this year and all the years before. Shameful.
Trump’s ATF took down the Faces Of Gun Violence Exhibit at its headquarters. Our Chairwoman @pomurray.bsky.social met with Director Steve Dettelbach in Dec. before he left his position & the Director shared that the exhibit was added for the bureau to remember its mission - to protect Americans!

Most school shooters don’t get guns from strangers. They get them from home.
We can change that—by locking up firearms and demanding safe storage.
Because one locked gun could save a life. #ProtectOurChildren
Do you own a gun?
✅ Lock It Up.
✅ Store Ammo Separately.
